Create Content Routing doc

Open yusefnapora opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

Should cover the basics of the content routing interface and how it's used by other parts of libp2p (e.g. rendezvous for AutoRelay). Should mention that the primary implementation is via kad-dht, but others implementations are possible.

This should be complementary to #13, which covers Peer Routing. Since the content routing interface is distinct from peer routing (even if both are often backed by the same DHT implementation), we should discuss it separately and link between the docs where it makes sense.

I don't think anyone from the libp2p core team will be able to tackle these any time soon. Contributions are more than welcome. I am happy to help.

Its a major bummer because the routing tables and handling the DHT size are big issues with using libp2p, and the docs are so poor in that space which makes it hard to get open source fixes and ideas towards that problem... Kademlia is great but there is a need to a middle-ware option, i.e. so that Kademlia can run i.e. think ospf to bgp, Kademlia is just like ospf but you need a bgp space so places can join bgp areas to be apart of the Kademlia swarm..

We plan to add a section on Kademlia content routing and not a generic counting routing section. Because different content routers are also being added to IPFS, we (docs team) will follow up with the IPFS team for their content routing docs.
