Storage, Mutability and Naming in Pasta

We outline the design and operation of Pasta, a peer-to-peer storage system that provides traditional file system semantics while offering the wide-spread caching and distribution required for publishing networks. Pasta allows users to manipulate shared files and folders with strong consistency semantics and to collaboratively organize them in unmanaged decentralized namespaces. Storage quotas regulate consumption and allow the network to offer permanence of content.
