What is IPFS?
It is a peer-to-peer HyperMedia Protocol
that is very much similar to the https, which
was made to surpass the limitations of Https.

here the network is created by connecting all

available nodes to eachother, forming a
graph like structure.
- how are we connected ?

Hi everyone,
Thanks for
Joining !!
How Does it work ?

Today’s web works on the concept of

“LOCATION BASED ADDRESSING” ..

IPFS works on the concept of

“CONTENT BASED ADDRESSING”
Location Based Addressing required server

Hi !! Can I get the

content that is in this
Address ??

Sure, go to that
server in the end
Content Based Addressing

me as
I have it! well !

Hi !! does anyone
have this content

me too!
How Do we Store Data ?
Stored as Block:
1 Block
BLOCK -> a Structure that can store 256KB of data 256
KB

Data Splitting:
CAT.png 23KB [ 23KB ]
1 MB file split into
256 Jojo.mp4 700KB [ 256KB ]
4 blocks
KB
L [ 256KB ]
256
L [ 118KB ]
KB 256
KB Public : 2 Blocks
Hidden : 2 Blocks
256 Total : 4 Blocks

How Do we Identify Data?
Each and Every Entity in IPFS has its own Qw23...HyDe
Unique ID. 256
KB
Including each and every node, and each and
every block

Ra23...asdf 1223...v643 34w53...asd

The Astronomical Case Study

IPFS is a solution for the InterPlanetary

Communication Issues.

as IPFS creates a Copy/Replica of content that it

loads, It can release the same data from its How Does
it help,
Replica without reaching Out to the other node. You ask ?
The Astronomical Case Study
We are in Mars, and suddenly Kirito wanted to
watch DBZ’s latest episode.
DBZ,
Latest EP
He takes out his mini PC and puts it in download
list. Transmission is at the speed of light. So it
takes him 187 seconds to start the download.

After I finish Vijay Kumar also wanted to see the

same thing. So he does the same thing.

Now Lets Think in terms of Current web and IPFS.

Thank You
