Peer-to-peer distribution of web content using WebRTC within a web browserErsson, Kerstin, Siri, Persson January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this project was to investigate if it is possible to host websites using the BitTorrent protocol, a protocol for distribution of data on the web. This was done using several Node.js modules, small clusters of code written in JavaScript, such as Browserify and a modified version of WebTorrent. In these modules, technologies like websockets and WebRTC are implemented. The project resulted in a working WebTorrent module, implemented on the website www.peerweb.io. However, the module still needs optimization concerning the time it takes to set up a WebRTC peer connection. With these modifications, we believe that hosting websites via peer-to-peer network will be the future of the web.
