-Rust-libp2p is an implementation of the libp2p specification in Rust. Rust is a popular systems programming language. The rust-libp2p project was initiated around 2018 and since then, it has powered network like Ethereum through its Rust implementation [Lighthouse](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse) and [Polkadot](github.com/paritytech/polkadot/) along with the [Substrate](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/) ecosystem. You can find more rust-libp2p users [here](https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p#notable-users).

 [rust-libp2p-server](https://github.com/mxinden/rust-libp2p-server/) is just thin wrapper around rust-libp2p. It combines rust-libp2p's TCP, QUIC and Kademlia-DHT implementation into a single binary. Looking up the new rust-libp2p-server IPFS bootstrap node `ny5` via [`libp2p-lookup`](https://github.com/mxinden/libp2p-lookup/) confirms just that. Note the `Agent version: "rust-libp2p-server/0.12.0"`. and `Protocols: - /ipfs/kad/1.0.0`.

 ## Some numbers

-- Connection establishment
-- Memory usage
-- Mention bytes per connection
-- Incoming Kademlia requests
+On the new bootstrap node we see around 15 new inbound connections per second. The majority of these connections are established via QUIC (see `ip4/udp/quic`).
 
-- Publish Grafana dashboard
-  - Stress number of connections and memory usage
-- Majority is QUIC connections

+The node is handling > 30k connections concurrently, thus being connected to most of the network at any given point in time.

+Across these connections the node handles around 40 Kademlia requests per second, most of which are Kademlia `FIND_NODE` requests.

 A lot of this work was done by [@mcamou](https://github.com/mcamou) from the Protocol Labs Bifrost team, who has handled the deployment and ongoing operation of the new node. Thanks, [@mcamou](https://github.com/mcamou)!
