IPFSn
IPFSn is a hypothetical extension of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) designed to improve scalable content delivery in dynamic and edge-rich networks. The concept envision a modular overlay that remains compatible with IPFS's content addressing while introducing an adaptive routing layer for faster retrieval.
Architecture emphasizes a Merkle-based content graph, a distributed hash table with proximity-aware routing, and a cache-conscious
Key features include low-latency retrieval through cooperative caching, improved resilience to churn, and optional privacy features
Status: as a concept, IPFSn exists in academic and experimental discussions and has several reference implementations
