I implemented support for the WebTorrent protocol in aquatic a while back. Now I’ve finally been able to add a WebTorrent file transfer test to the CI pipeline, so I feel that it is time to share an update here.

  High-performance WebTorrent tracker

  

I did some benchmarks with my load testing tool and got very encouraging results: 1.8M tracker responses per second when using 14 threads, compared to a maximum of 117k responses per second for closest competitor wt-tracker. I suspect that the openwebtorrent tracker would be a lot closer in performance to aquatic, but since it only runs over TLS, I couldn’t test it, as the load tester doesn’t support it. More info on the benchmark (PDF).
