Network Simulation Parameters

Network Conditions (Affects localStorage Ops):

These settings simulate delays and unreliability for localStorage-based communication, making the P2P simulation more challenging.

Advanced Feature Simulation Toggles:

Service Worker Note: For true background persistence and off-main-thread operations, a Service Worker would be ideal. This is beyond the scope of a single-file simulation without a build process.

Key Simulated & Conceptual Features

This simulation attempts to conceptualize many advanced P2P networking features. Hover over tooltips (ⓘ) throughout the app for more info.

  • Middle-Out Compression Engine: The core algorithm for finding common data kernels and achieving compression, including a heuristic "Weissman Score".
  • Simulated True WebRTC Peer-to-Peer Data Transfer: Utilizes localStorage to explicitly simulate signaling (offer/answer/ICE) for conceptual DataChannel setup. Chunk transfers are logged as if over WebRTC DataChannels when enabled.
  • Simulated Gossip Protocol for Network State Propagation: If enabled, clients periodically "gossip" summaries of their known state via localStorage.
  • Client-Side Reputation Scoring: Clients have reputation scores, updated based on simulated successful interactions (e.g., chunk delivery, uptime).
  • Simulated Distributed Hash Table (DHT): Logs conceptual DHT lookups for resource discovery.
  • Adaptive Redundancy: Data "importance" setting influences how many copies are attempted to be stored.
  • Simulated Sharded `localStorage` & Bloom Filters: Distinct localStorage keys are used. Conceptual Bloom Filter checks are logged.
  • Leader Election for Coordinated Operations: A simple leader election mechanism is simulated.
  • Optimistic Updates & Conflict Indication: UI may update optimistically; conflicts (e.g. leader change) are logged.
  • Conceptual End-to-End Chunk Encryption Layer: A toggle simulates that data chunks are encrypted/decrypted.
  • Enhanced Network Visualization (SVG): A basic SVG visualization shows active nodes and conceptual WebRTC links.
  • Tunable Network Simulation Parameters: Configure simulated latency and packet loss for localStorage operations.
  • Conceptual Cross-Client Data Deduplication: Checks for existing chunk hashes are logged.
  • Conceptual Dynamic Kernel Evolution: Leader node logs conceptual checks for kernel merging.
  • PiperChat D-App: A simple P2P chat application built on the simulated network infrastructure.
