# Awesome P2P
A list of great resources on p2p things.
The content here is curated by me, [@mafintosh](https://github.com/mafintosh) but please open PRs with suggestions.## Protocols
Existing systems that I really like for the simplicity and ingenuity
* [BitTorrent - no nonsense specification. Easy to read and implement](https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification)
* [PPSP - one of the papers that has inspired me the most in terms of making a modern file sharing network](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7574/?include_text=1)
* [Scuttlebutt replication - Simple/efficient way of replicating append-only logs](http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/rvr/papers/flowgossip.pdf)
* [osm-p2p-db - substack explains the arcitecture of a p2p mapping system](https://github.com/digidem/osm-p2p-db/blob/master/doc/architecture.markdown)## Data integrity / authentication
Ways of securing / verifying data when receiving it from untrusted peers
* [Dominic Tarr on asymmetric crypto](http://dominictarr.com/post/106497926352/asymmetric-cryptography-works-like-magic)
* [Dominic Tarr on hashes](http://dominictarr.com/post/154769946347/fairly-tale-cryptography-2-hashes)## DHT / Peer discovery
In a distributed system finding other peers interested in the same topic as you is usually an important step.
* [Kademlia. Probably the simplest DHT out and a very well written paper. Use the key value store to point p2p key -> ip:port for discovery](https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~petar/papers/maymounkov-kademlia-lncs.pdf)
## Connectivity
