Our tools and results contribute towards a healthy and efficient P2P network for Filecoin, IPFS and other libp2p-based projects. Our existing tools, like Nebula, Parsec and others help identify issues and resolve them quickly to avoid performance regressions. See the list of tools here: https://probelab.io/tools/. Our latest tool, Hermes (https://github.com/probe-lab/hermes), which is a Gossipsub listener and tracer is helping identify issues with regard to message propagation in blockchain networks. Although currently deployed on the Ethereum network, it has helped significantly in identifying optimisations which benefit Filecoin directly (see: https://github.com/libp2p/specs/pull/560#issuecomment-2199693989).
