npm

> npm install ipfs-bitswap

Use in Node.js or in the browser with browserify, webpack or any other bundler

const Bitswap = require('ipfs-bitswap')

Stats

const bitswapNode = // ...

const stats = bitswapNode.stat()

Stats contains a snapshot accessor, a moving average acessor and a peer accessor.

Besides that, it emits "update" events every time it is updated.

stats.on('update', (stats) => {
  console.log('latest stats snapshot: %j', stats)
})

Peer accessor:

You can get the stats for a specific peer by doing:

const peerStats = stats.forPeer(peerId)

The returned object behaves like the root stats accessor (has a snapshot, a moving average accessors and is an event emitter).

Global snapshot accessor:

const snapshot = stats.snapshot
console.log('stats: %j', snapshot)

the snapshot will contain the following keys, with the values being bignumber.js instances:

// stats: {
//   "dataReceived":"96",
//   "blocksReceived":"2",
//   "dataReceived":"96",
//   "dupBlksReceived":"0",
//   "dupDataReceived":"0",
//   "blocksSent":"0",
//   "dataSent":"0",
//   "providesBufferLength":"0",
//   "wantListLength":"0",
//   "peerCount":"1"
// }

Moving average accessor:

const movingAverages = stats.movingAverages

This object contains these properties:

  • 'blocksReceived',
  • 'dataReceived',
  • 'dupBlksReceived',
  • 'dupDataReceived',
  • 'blocksSent',
  • 'dataSent',
  • 'providesBufferLength',
  • 'wantListLength',
  • 'peerCount'
const dataReceivedMovingAverages = movingAverages.dataReceived

Each one of these will contain one key per interval (miliseconds), being the default intervals defined:

  • 60000 (1 minute)
  • 300000 (5 minutes)
  • 900000 (15 minutes)

You can then select one of them

const oneMinuteDataReceivedMovingAverages = dataReceivedMovingAverages[60000]

This object will be a movingAverage instance.

Performance tests

You can run performance tests like this:

$ npm run benchmarks

Profiling

You can run each of the individual performance tests with a profiler like 0x.

To do that, you need to install 0x:

$ npm install 0x --global

And then run the test:

$ 0x test/benchmarks/get-many

This will output a flame graph and print the location for it. Use the browser Chrome to open and inspect the generated graph.
