There is this https://github.com/bittorrent/bittorrent.org/pull/174 We would love this to gain more traction so we can use mainline also for content discovery. But we have to be re…

There are some technical differences since we build on QUIC, not on wireguard. We think that QUIC offers some advantages for demanding use cases. But everything we do is open sourc…

We have not implemented this yet, and there are some things to consider. But there is an open standard for load balancing QUIC connections, and we have hooks in our QUIC implementa…

You don't have to use it. But here are some answers: Re-issuing keys is as simple as generating a new Ed25519 keypair. let secret_key = SecretKey::generate(); // takes less than a …

This might not be a giant difference in practice. But headscale is a community project. The iroh relay code is by number0 just like iroh itself and lives in the same MIT and Apache…

We do have browser support, but as of now it is relay only.

We have made some progress reducing the set of patches that is needed to get iroh to run on an esp32 with SPIRAM. We just need a little dependency reduction for it to fit, but othe…

You only need to know the public key of the target endpoint. It will work even on very restrictive firewalls. Even if they outright ban UDP packets, we will fall back to the relay …

That’s the beauty of it. The app end user doesn’t have to do anything. The iroh endpoint will determine its location in the world by probing the configured relays using QAD (simila…

> I might have assumed io_uring would be the high throughput kernel interface for Linux. We might do an io_uring based linux only implementation at some point. For now we do care a…

Yeah, that’s from a friend of mine. If something like this would gain traction that would be cool.

It might be an option to provide a good migration path for projects that build on libp2p. But in the long term you probably don't want two fully featured p2p networking stacks in y…

Yes, exactly. Basically we chose the bottom edge of zooko's triangle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27s_triangle A mapping from a scarce but human readable name to a non-scar…

I think we do very well with devices devices with limited bandwidth and changing connections. We are able to saturate a 1 GiB link from a normal desktop PC or good phone, but have …

That is correct. Iroh connections are at L6, individual protocols such as blobs or gossip are at L7. From the OSI point of view, QUIC itself is a bit of a layering violation. It co…

Previous similar attempts were often not pragmatic or frugal enough. They cared about peer to peer purity more than about it working under all circumstances. They also frequently o…

We wrote a small demo app called sendme to show off iroh. It is cli only, works on all operating systems that we use internally, and we frequently use it to send around qlog files:…

I love mainline and also really appreciate how lightweight it is by just using UDP packets. But UDP packets have their limits. With the maximum MTU you can expect to work, the payl…

We don't have the post 1.0 roadmap very fleshed out at this point. The team has been extremely focused on getting 1.0 out of the door for the last year. This took longer than expec…

If they are both behind the same CGNat, you can use mDNS to help them find each other. If they are behind different CGNat, you need a party that is reachable by both to help with h…

We have some customers that do use iroh inside data centers. You get the simplicity of being able to freely move nodes within the data center or even across data centers without ha…

At the lowest level it is a creative way to leverage all the work the major cloud vendors have poured into QUIC for p2p connections. If you look at an iroh connection in wireshark …

Very cool project. I seriously wish one of the printer vendors would use iroh to come up with a network printing standard that just works. We constantly have issues with our printe…

Iroh endpoint ids are just Ed25519 keypairs. We don't want you to charge per id, and even if we wanted there is no way we could. We charge you for hosted relays and additional insi…

Yes, exactly. Our commercial offering provides more insight into your iroh deployment as well as a hosted relay network. At the enterprise tier you can also get priority access to …
