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 _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
