Primitive Peer 2 Peer Protocol (P4)

A simple peer to peer protocol for file sharing.

Intro

P4 is a simple peer to peer protocol for file sharing. It is designed to be simple and easy to implement. It is a http and gRPC based protocol, with a simple REST API for control and a gRPC for data transfer.

Requirements

1. Python 3.11+
2. mutiple peers (it can be addressed by using Docker or modifying each peer working port)
3. If using with multiple computers, by default, the 8000 is used as the control port and 8001 is used as the data port, so theses ports should be open in the firewall.
