We have instrumented the following experiment to capture the DHT Publish performance over time and from several different geographic locations. We have set up IPFS DHT Server nodes in four (4) different geographic locations. Each node periodically publishes a unique CID and makes it known to the rest of the nodes, who subsequently request it through the DHT (acting as clients). This way we capture the entire performance spectrum of the DHT, i.e., both the DHT Publish and the Lookup performance from each location. In this plot we present the CDF of the DHT Publish performance over all regions, as well as per region.
