A Reliable Serverless Data Chunk Streaming Model for File Sharing

  • Unique Paper ID: 189228
  • PageNo: 5238-5247
  • Abstract:
  • The increasing demand for fast, private, and reliable digital communication has exposed the limitations of conventional file-sharing systems that rely heavily on centralized servers and cloud-based infrastructures. These platforms often suffer from high latency, bandwidth constraints, privacy risks, and dependency on third-party services. This work presents a WebRTC-based real-time file-sharing system that enables secure, peer-to-peer data transfer directly between browsers without intermediate storage or routing. The proposed approach leverages WebRTC’s Data Channel architecture, DTLS-enabled encryption, and ICE-based NAT traversal to establish low-latency and end-to-end encrypted communication paths. To improve performance during large-file transfers and unstable networks, the system incorporates adaptive chunking, dynamic pacing, and retransmission strategies that ensure reliable delivery and seamless reconstruction on the receiver side. A React-based front- end and a Node.js signaling backend deployed on Vercel provide a responsive, scalable, and platform-independent user experience. The findings demonstrate that WebRTC offers a practical, efficient, and privacy-preserving alternative to traditional server- centric file-sharing solutions, making this approach suitable for modern collaborative environments that require instant and decentralized data exchange.
