iptb is a program used to create and manage a cluster of sandboxed nodes
locally on your computer. Spin up 1000s of nodes! Using iptb makes testing
libp2p networks easy!
For working with IPFS please see ipfs/iptb-plugins.

Plugins are now used to implement support for managing nodes. Plugins are
stored under $IPTB_ROOT/plugins (see configuration)
Plugins for the IPFS project can be found in ipfs/iptb-plugins.
By default, iptb uses $HOME/testbed to store created nodes. This path is configurable via the environment variables IPTB_ROOT.
