I2Pd

Introduction

I2Pd is a project implementing the I2P router in C++ instead of Java (in order to require less CPU power and RAM).

Performance: according to Echelon (2015-12) "On a usual system, it pushes the same data as the java version through the network. It maybe using 5-10% less CPU while doing so."^[1]

I2Pd uses significantly less memory.

Launched in 2013.

As of 2019 it almost has a full feature parity with Java I2P implementation.

I2Pd has SOCKS Proxy enabled by default on port 4447.

Status for I2Pd and some services/software

Applications that use I2CP : supported

i2pd currently (november 2016) supports the SAM, BOB, and SOCKS interfaces. Starting from relese 2.8.0 it supports the I2CP interface, which is required for the following applications: I2PSnark, I2P-Bote, SusiMail^[2].

Applications that use SAM, BOB, and SOCKS interfaces : supported

These interfaces are supported by I2Pd (december 2014)^[3].

Examples of applications that use them :

I2P-Messenger
iMule (SAM). Supported from I2Pd v0.9.0. How to : run i2pd with SAM bridge enabled "-samport=7656"^[4].
PyBitmessage-I2P ? (SAM)
Robert (BOB ?)
Syndie (SOCKS ?)

Cryptography

I2Pd uses OpenSSL as major crypto library, and it's own implementation of EdDSA.^[5]

Misc

How to torrent with the I2Pd router ?

I2Pd has no integrated torrent client (such as I2PSnark in the official I2P Java router). There are several other Bittorrents clients compatible with the I2P network: Filesharing and I2P.
