Barge directory add does not utilize sharded directories

2

**Describe the bug** When adding directories with many entries to barge (e.g. tens of thousands) the IPLD block created will exceed the blocksize transferrable by protocols like Bitswap (some [thoughts](https://pl-strflt.notion.site/Block-Limits-IPLD-and-IPFS-344484bbfa3a475180cb2a9ea1cc9a0d)...

### Checklist - [X] My issue is specific & actionable. - [X] I am not suggesting a protocol enhancement. - [X] I have searched on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues?q=is%3Aissue) for my...

Optimizing (or remove) the provider delay interval for DHT lookups used by Bitswap

33

We have had a delay inside of go-bitswap where we wait for Bitswap broadcasts before we do a content routing lookup. This has existed for a long time, and DHT...

IPNS and DNSLink fail to load in the explore tab

**Describe the bug** When typing things like `/ipns/k51...`, `/ipns/ipfs.io` into the browse/inspect bar if you hit inspect it'll take you to the explore page and will error. This bug might...

RPC API reference: document global flags

4

Flags like `--offline` , `--cid-base`, `--timeout`, etc. are not documented in https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/http/api/ likely because they are scraping the individual commands which are not showing the global flags https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/6640. Whether this...

Separable client and server implementations

1

While it's very nice that we have the protobufs and general message parsing code in a separate package it's unfortunate that go-bitswap insists on instantiating client (sending out wants) and...

Fix Flaky CI tests

As a result of #485 updating our CI process we're finding a lot of flaky tests. Our broken tests so far, along with the failures we've gotten. - [x] TestTaggingUseful...

# Problem While sending wantlists to peers reuses streams when possible https://github.com/ipfs/go-bitswap/blob/2b51297a0b68198b6c4bcacdd8868a6df8dcd182/network/ipfs_impl.go#L105-L108 Responding to messages involves opening up new streams https://github.com/ipfs/go-bitswap/blob/2b51297a0b68198b6c4bcacdd8868a6df8dcd182/network/ipfs_impl.go#L326-L334 The main issues with this AFAICT are: 1) Reduced...

[experiment] authentication tokens

3

Not much to see here, just a stab at what it might look like to have authentication in Bitswap. Very not production ready.

testing: skip flaky tests on failure so that CI can reliably pass

2

I've taken the approach of only skipping the particular errors identified in https://github.com/ipfs/go-bitswap/issues/493. We still obviously need to fix these, but having CI green makes it easier to determine when...
