Network Size

Shows an estimate of the number of unique peers in the IPFS network per week (Monday to Sunday, UTC). The two bars are stacked on top of each other.

• DHT Servers: the number of unique peer IDs that our Nebula crawler found in the DHT in that week.
• DHT Clients: the number of unique peer IDs that connected to the IPFS bootstrap nodes in that week, from the logs of these nodes. We do not subtract the DHT servers from this number, so it can also count peers that are in the DHT Servers bar.
• DHT Server IP Addresses (line): the number of unique IP addresses of the DHT servers that Nebula found in that week.
