A High-availability Data Backup Strategy for IPFS
LinFei Shi, Hong Luo, Xuemei Yang, Yan Sun · 2019
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to- peer distributed file system. It can greatly reduce the cost of data storage and improve the performance of data download. Currently, the IPFS-based distributed storage systems mostly uses the centralized backup mechanism. Although it can provide high data availability, centralized nodes will be single fault peer and become the bottleneck of system performance. This paper proposes a high-availability data backup strategy based on QoS and interest of IPFS nodes. Compared with the existing methods, the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed strategy is more effective and practical.
