Description

At the IPFS/Libp2p developer summit in Berlin in July 2018, we had poster-making sessions where people explored various Libp2p concepts. We should expand on the Floodsub poster by adding a doc in the content/guides/concepts folder.

floodsub


See the concept docs README for more about these docs. They should strive to answer:

  1. What is this?
  2. How does it relate to the rest of Libp2p?
  3. How can (or should?) you use it? (Note: sometimes the answer is that you should understand it, but not use it. Bitswap is probably a good example.)
  4. Where do you go to learn more?
  5. What is the current state of affairs?

Research direction

Start with the concept docs README and the existing files in content/guides/concepts. Use the Floodsub poster and the README guidance to structure a new concept document covering what Floodsub is, its relationship to Libp2p, how it should be used, further learning resources, and its current state.
