<p>
This project focuses on creating a framework for running heavy computational tasks that a regular
computer cannot handle easily. These tasks may include graphically demanding video games, rendering
3D animations, and performing complex protein folding simulations. The major focus of this project
is not on financial incentives but rather on building a robust and efficient peer-to-peer (P2P)
network to decentralise task execution and increase the computational bandwidth available for
such tasks.
</p>
<p>
The P2PRC framework serves as a foundation for decentralised rendering and computation,
providing insights into how tasks can be distributed efficiently across a network of peers.
Leveraging the P2PRC approach, this project extends its capabilities to handle a
wider range of computationally intensive tasks.

<h3 id="motivation"><span class="section-number-3">2.1.</span> Motivation</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-motivation">
<p>
Many of the users rely on our PC / Laptop or servers that belong to a
server farm to run heavy tasks and with the demand of high creativity
requires higher computing power. Buying a powerful computer every few
years to run a bunch of heavy tasks which are not executed as frequently
to reap the benefits can be inefficient utilization of hardware. On the
other end, renting servers to run these heavy tasks can be really
useful. Ethically speaking this is leading to monopolisation of
computing power similar to what is happening in the web server area. By
using peer to peer principles it is possible to remove the
monopolisation factor and increase the bandwidth between the client and
server.

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-p2p-module-implementation">
<p>
The P2P module is for managing server information within the network.
It maintains and updates the IP table, ensuring accuracy by preventing duplicates and removing
entries for unreachable servers. Furthermore, the module conducts speed tests on the listed servers
to determine upload and download speeds. This valuable information enables users to identify nearby
servers with optimal performance, enhancing their overall network experience.
</p>
<p>
[[<img src="Docs/images/p2pmoduleArch.png" alt="p2pmoduleArch.png" />]
</p>
<p>
The peer to peer implementation was built from scratch. This is because
other peer to peer libraries were on the implementation of the
Distributed hash table. At the current moment all those heavy features
are not needed because the objective is to search and list all possible
servers available. The limitation being that to be a part of the network
the user has to know at least 1 server. The advantage of building from
scratch makes the module super light and possibility for custom
functions and structs. The sub topics below will mention the
implementations of each functionality in depth.

The ip table file is a json as the format with a list of servers ip
addresses, latencies, downloads and uploads speeds. The functions
implemented include read file, write file and remove duplicate IP
addresses. The remove duplicate IP address function exists because
sometimes servers IP tables can have the same ip addresses as what the
client has. The path of the IP table json file is received from the
configuration module.

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-config-implementation">
<p>
The configuration module is responsible to store basic information of
absolute paths of files being called in the Go code. In a full-fledged
Cli the configuration file can be found in the directory <i>etc</i> and from
there points to location such as where the IP table file is located. In
the future implementation the config file will have information such as
number of hops and other parameters to tweak and to improve the
effectiveness of the peer to peer network. The configuration module was
implemented using the library Viper. The Viper library automates
features such as searching in default paths to find out if the
configuration file is present. If the configuration file is not present
in the default paths then it auto generates the configuration file. The
configurations file can be in any format. In this project the
configuration file was generated using JSON format.

be running.

Time to setup P2PRC
<a href="https://p2prc.akilan.io/Docs/#build-project-and-install-project">Installation Instructions</a>
</p>
<p>
Run p2prc as a background
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-nil">p2prc -s &amp;
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Run map port and domain mapping
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-nil">p2prc --mp 3000 --dn &lt;DOMAIN NAME&gt;
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Sample response
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-nil"> {
"IPAddress": "217.76.63.222",
"PortNo": "61582",
"EntireAddress": "217.76.63.222:61582"
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Add DNS entry
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-nil">A entry 217.76.63.222
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Your done now just head to the DOMAIN NAME you added.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-12-1">
<p>
This stems from a personal issue I have when doing research
on <a href="https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/cheribsd">CheriBSD</a> kernel. For my research I am using the ARM morello
which is a 128bit ARMv8 processor. At the moment Go programs
can cannot compile and run inside the CPU. This means I cannot
run P2PRC at the moment inside the ARM morello to remotely access
it when it's behind NAT using P2PRC. This would indeed be a common
problem when running against various Architectures that do not
support running P2PRC. As you will see soon this also creates
oppurtunity space to scale faster to nodes in a local network
and would introduce a new layer fault tolerance within a local
network nodes.

<h4 id="org3e88acf"><span class="section-number-4">12.1.1.</span> Assumptions:</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-12-1-1">
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>I have a Morello board that cannot run P2PRC</li>
<li>The Morello has a local IP address (ex: 192.168.0.10)</li>
<li>I have 2 laptops running P2PRC in that local network.</li>
<li>This means I have 2 ways to access the Morello board: Which is to SSH
into either 2 laptops and then SSH into 192.168.0.10 to gain access
to the board. Wouldn't it be great to automate this whole layer and
as well look into custom tasks into the hetrogenous hardware.</li>

<h4 id="org3ff0b6c"><span class="section-number-4">12.1.2.</span> Set of interesting possible:</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-12-1-2">
<p>
We build a cool set possibilities before and use this to build up the implementation
plan.
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>We can use P2PRC access the morello board remotely in a single command.</li>
<li>We can use the P2PRC protocol to run servers inside the morello board via traversed
node locally which can access that Node.</li>
<li>Spin servers on node not running P2PRC using the P2PRC standard abstractions.</li>
<li>Auto-setup P2PRC nodes with just SSH access via potencially a DSL.</li>
<li>A neat use case for CHERI for instance would be use the architecture to run light
weight hypervisors.</li>

<h4 id="orgbaa7f26"><span class="section-number-4">12.1.3.</span> Implementation</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-12-1-3">
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>To use implementations similar to <a href="https://linux.die.net/man/1/socat">socat</a> to ensure we can bind address of local
nodes to a node running P2PRC and the node running P2PRC can do a local map port.</li>
<li>We are working on hardening the implementation of the &#x2013;mp (Map port) to even
map ports to machines which remotely running P2PRC. This means of instance I
can issue a command to the Morello board without the morello board being in
my local network.</li>
<li>We would want to implement the exsisting P2PRC public key mechanism as well so that
other nodes can access the Morello board who have permission access.</li>
