Bitswap is the data trading module for IPFS. Its purpose is to request blocks from and send blocks to other peers in the network. Bitswap has two primary jobs:
- Attempt to acquire blocks from the network that have been requested by the client.
- Judiciously (though strategically) send blocks in its possession to other peers who want them.

- What is Bitswap 1.0.0 vs Bitswap 1.1.0?
- Does it use "tit-for-tat" negotiation?
