Abstract
IPFS is a distributed file system which has a goal
to connect all computers into one file system.
To achieve that it is using concepts taken from
Git and Bittorrent. In the IPFS implementation
section it will be talked about how IPFS functions,
which data structures it uses and which other
technologies it uses. In the problematics of todays
web section some problems will be shown that
IPFS is trying to fix, and how it fixes them. In
the application section it will be shown how to
install IPFS on different platforms and some
already existing IPFS programs will be shown.
This paper analyzes the IPFS implementation,
it explains the problems that IPFS is trying to
solve with its own application. It looks at already
existing applications that use IPFS and it suggests
directions for future papers and research.
