Crate vflight 

vflight

Share files over the Veilid distributed network with content-addressable storage.

Overview

vflight enables secure, decentralized file sharing using the Veilid p2p network. Files are chunked into 30KB pieces, hashed with BLAKE3, and stored in Veilid’s DHT.

Quick Example

use vflight::chunker::chunk_file;
use std::path::Path;

let chunks = chunk_file(Path::new("myfile.bin"))?;
for chunk in chunks {
    println!("Chunk {}: {} bytes", chunk.index, chunk.data.len());
}

Key Modules

• chunker - File splitting and reassembly with hashing
• compression - Zstd compression before chunking
• protocol - Network message definitions
• node - Veilid node lifecycle management
• seed - Seed files to the network
• fetch - Retrieve files from the network
• metrics - Performance metrics collection
• encryption - Chunk encryption for secure transfers
• resume - Resume state management for interrupted downloads
• throttle - Token-bucket bandwidth throttling for transfers
