Peernet - an open p2p network standard / implementation
summary
Peernet is a file‑sharing stack with a pure Go implementation, single‑binary zero‑config daemon and a browser; it uses UDP hole‑punching plus bootstrapping, IPv4 broadcast and IPv6 multicast to discover peers. Metadata lives in per‑peer blockchains for keyword decentralized search, files live in a deduplicating content‑addressed “warehouse” that supports chunk reads/seeks, and transfers run over UDT reliable UDP implemented in Go (tested in bandwidth runs). Command‑line tools include a probe file transfer that verifies hashes and measures speeds.
