Deep Dive: Dragonfly
summary
Dragonfly is an open P2P container image distribution system that runs a supernode (scheduling, peer lists, seeding) plus clients (dfget/dfdaemon acting as proxies), splits large layers into piece-based transfers, enforces rate limits and cache-control, and supports Docker and containerd without engine changes. Demo deploys supernode and dfdaemon with two commands and shows a large image pull drop from about 6 minutes to ~23 seconds, with many layers fetching in <2s.
