  • libp2p - A modular network stack. Run your network applications free from runtime and address services, independently of their location.
  • What is libp2p - libp2p - aims to provide a comprehensive guide about libp2p. It covers the various modules of libp2p, including supported transport protocols, secure channels, stream multiplexers, peer discovery, messaging, NAT traversal, and more. This site is an essential resource for developers who want to learn about the capabilities and features of libp2p, as well as for those who are already familiar with libp2p and are looking for more advanced guidance. Whether you are just getting started with P2P networking, or you are an experienced developer looking to build the next generation of distributed applications, the libp2p documentation has something for you.



  • https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack - a new decentralized internet where you own your data and your apps run locally without remote servers. Blockstack provides decentralized services for naming/DNS, identity, authentication and storage. Developers can use JavaScript libraries to build serverless apps and they don't need to worry about managing infrastructure. Blockstack replaces the current client/server model; users control their data, apps run client-side, and the open Blockstack network replaces server-side functionality.


  • Yjs - a framework for offline-first p2p shared editing on structured data like text, richtext, json, or XML. It is fairly easy to get started, as Yjs hides most of the complexity of concurrent editing.


  • https://github.com/Tribler/py-ipv8 - IPv8: an amalgamation of peer-to-peer communication functionality from Dispersy and Tribler, developed over the last 13 years by students and employees of the Delft University of Technology. The IPv8 library allows you to interface with the existing Dispersy network to build your own applications.


  • TomP2P - a DHT with additional features, such as storing multiple values for a key. Each peer has a table (either disk-based or memory-based) to store its values. A single value can be queried / updated with a secondary key. The underlying communication framework uses Java NIO to handle many concurrent connections.

Routing protocols

DSDV

Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV) is a table-driven routing scheme for ad hoc mobile networks based on the Bellman–Ford algorithm. It was developed by C. Perkins and P.Bhagwat in 1994. The main contribution of the algorithm was to solve the routing loop problem. Each entry in the routing table contains a sequence number, the sequence numbers are generally even if a link is present; else, an odd number is used. The number is generated by the destination, and the emitter needs to send out the next update with this number. Routing information is distributed between nodes by sending full dumps infrequently and smaller incremental updates more frequently.

AODV

It is a reactive routing protocol, meaning that it establishes a route to a destination only on demand. In contrast, the most common routing protocols of the Internet are proactive, meaning they find routing paths independently of the usage of the paths. AODV is, as the name indicates, a distance-vector routing protocol. AODV avoids the counting-to-infinity problem of other distance-vector protocols by using sequence numbers on route updates, a technique pioneered by DSDV. AODV is capable of both unicast and multicast routing.

OLSR

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimized_Link_State_Routing_Protocol - OLSR, is an IP routing protocol optimized for mobile ad hoc networks, which can also be used on other wireless ad hoc networks. OLSR is a proactive link-state routing protocol, which uses hello and topology control (TC) messages to discover and then disseminate link state information throughout the mobile ad hoc network. Individual nodes use this topology information to compute next hop destinations for all nodes in the network using shortest hop forwarding paths.

Bmx6

  • Bmx6 is a routing protocol for Linux based operating systems.

Babel

Babel is based on the ideas in Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector routing (DSDV), Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), and Cisco's Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), but it uses a variant of Expected Transmission Count (ETX) link cost estimation rather than a simple hop-count metric. It employs several techniques to ensure the absence of routing pathologies, such as routing loops. Babel operates on IPv4 and IPv6 networks. It has been reported to be a robust protocol and to have fast convergence properties.

Two implementations of Babel are freely available: the standalone sample implementation, and a version that is integrated into the Quagga routing suite. The version integrated into Quagga allows for authentication.

  • https://github.com/nasa/meshNetwork - The Mesh Network Communication System is a peer-to-peer communication network architecture that enables communication between network nodes of various types. The initial primary goal of the system was to enable communication between small formations of cubesats or other small satellites, but the basic mesh architecture is applicable to data exchange between network assets of any type. The system has been flight tested on formations of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and shown to provide low latency data throughput for dynamic flight environments.

p2panda

  • p2panda - a protocol for local-first applications. local first is a somewhat unknown term and hard to grasp if you think about the internet in its current state. It basically means: The programs you use don't need a globally interconnected internet to function, but can simply run - even when you're offline. And there is even more! If you imagine creating data without any other entity checking against it, for example when you're offline, then this is very different from how commercial platforms function: You don't sign up or upload your data somewhere, your data is already on your computer and you can do with it whatever you feel like.

  • https://github.com/p2panda/p2panda - This library provides all tools required to write a client, node or even your own protocol implementation for the p2panda network. It is shipped both as a Rust crate p2panda-rs with WebAssembly bindings and a NPM package p2panda-js with TypeScript definitions running in NodeJS or any modern web browser.
