The beauty of ipfs is the transport protocols are completely modular. They do a pretty good job supporting a lot of variety a separating concerns via https://github.com/libp2p/specs
Has anyone tried implementing IPFS on top of Licklider or another DTN protocol? Seems to me that's pretty much essential for any "interplanetary" setup.
The beauty of ipfs has been there since 6 years back and it’s almost completely uselses
The too chatty protocol is bitswap. Because the merkle-tree is not coupled to the protocol, they developped their own custom protocol on top of UDP for communication.
Isn't the QUIC transport the default since v0.6.0? Compared to TCP, it's much better suited for satellite communications.
Quic is not suited for satellite communications. There are good custom protocols though that are FEC heavy.
