## Production Use
### Facebook
[Facebook] uses BitTorrent in order to speed up large deployments.
In order to optimize the flow of traffic within their datacenters, Chihaya is configured to prefer peers within the same subnet.
This keeps the vast majority of traffic within the same rack and more importantly off the backbone between datacenters.

### CoreOS
[Quay] is a container registry that offers the ability to download containers via BitTorrent in order to speed up large deployments or deployments geographically far away.
Announce URLs from Quay's torrent files contain a [JWT] in order to allow Chihaya to verify that an infohash was approved by the registry.
