Peering

If you are running an IPFS node that serves many requests - like a public HTTP gateway - you may be able to speed up queries by maintaining long-lived connections to nodes that provide a large volume of data.

This process is known as Peering and you can tell IPFS to prioritize Cloudflare’s peers by editing the Peering configuration in your IPFS config file.
