I briefly ran an IPFS node, I believe working towards the same project that you are discussing. It ate my home network: drove my packet loss into the 10% range and somehow convinced my core switch (a Brocade ICX6610) to send all traffic to every port. When I saw every port on my upstairs switch blinking like crazy and tcpdump showed traffic intended for a downstairs server arriving at my upstairs workstation, I pulled the plug and told free he was on his own.
