[tahoe-dev] which net protocol(s)

[Zooko Wilcox-OHearn]

Hi Tom!

It goes through "foolscap", which is a Python-specific remote object
protocol layered on top of TLS. So: foolscap over TLS (which is
implemented by pyOpenSSL) over TCP over IP.

There are a few resources that might be interesting for performance
analysis. The first one is the "timeline" on the Recent Uploads and
Downloads page. The "timeline" shows the time it took, in seconds, for
the various stages of a download of an immutable file. It shows a
different row for each storage server. It can be panned back and forth
and zoomed in and out with the mouse.

There is a "status" page about each specific upload or download, and
that page shows timings for how much time was spent in encryption, in
network send/recv, etc.

Regards,

Zooko
