Addressing Challenges in Browser Based P2P Content Sharing Framework Using WebRTC

Implementation of Paper | Slides

Dependencies:

• npm modules:
  • For peer: bows, dht-id, eventemitter2, simple-peer, socket.io-client,
  • For Boot strap server: dht-id, hapi, socket.io, config, socket.io-client
  • Other requirements: browserify

Building and executing code:

• Peer (./peer )
  • peer.js contains the main code for a peer in the asynchronous chord network.
    • channel-manager.js and node-details.js are its components which it uses to contact with bootstrap server and other peers in the network
  • browserify main.js > bundle.js for compiling changes made to peer code
  • open createPeer.html in any web browser (chrome/firefox recommended) for creating a new peer. Open console for getting output and issuing commands to peers.
• Boot Strap server (./bootstrap)
  • nodejs boostrap.js for starting the server
