Core Statistics

Network structure, peer distribution, client diversity, and connection patterns analysis across the IPFS network.

Network Size

Network Size

The total number of peers in the network is estimated using the number of unique Peer IDs seen by Protocol Labs' bootstrap nodes. The number of unique DHT Server peer IDs identified by the Nebula crawler is then subtracted from the total number of peers (seen by the bootstrappers) to estimate the number of peers that exclusively function as DHT Clients.

Amino DHT Client vs Server Node Estimate

Unique Agents

Unique Agents

The total number of unique software agents operating in the network is estimated from those seen by Protocol Labs' bootstrap nodes when a peer connects. The number of unique agents seen by the Nebula crawler when crawling the IPFS DHT is included for comparison. The software agent strings have not been refined or processed, resulting in the count treating major and minor versions of each software agent as distinct entries.
