Very nice overview - thanks for this. Q: what's your take on the path to a possible a web browser based DHT that could be used instead of tracker servers (or anything, really.) I've seen a variety of people trying to figure this out but I don't think any solutions have popped out.
I was looking into (ab)using webtorrent trackers as webrtc signalling servers but instead decided to write a cloudflare worker to do it [1], which is kind of a half-step towards a 'serverless' signalling layer. The next step would be to get a decentralized network that allows you to run cloudflare workers off of cloudflare. But a true DHT would be ideal.
