Editorial tweaks to doc.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipni page #2238
Conversation
| - A production-grade IPFS deployment configured to support the [IPNI provider sidecar](https://github.com/ipni/index-provider) (configuration may be more involved) | ||
|
|
||
| IPNI is designed to improve the performance and efficiency of IPFS by providing an alternate method of content routing to the [Kademlia Distributed Hash Table (DHT)](../concepts/dht.md#kademlia). | ||
| IPNI is designed to create an alternate routing and discovery infrastructure outside of and independent from the [Kademlia Distributed Hash Table (DHT)](../concepts/dht.md#kademlia). |

This phrase is redundant. Consider using “outside”. (OUTSIDE_OF[1])

The usual collocation for “independent” is “of”, not “from”. Did you mean “independent of”? (INDEPENDENTLY_FROM_OF[120])
Suggestions: independent of

| With this in mind, the Network Indexer was created as an alternative content routing system to the Kadmelia DHT used by IPFS. While the DHT is a key component of the IPFS ecosystem, IPNI can support content routing at a much larger scale and speed using Lotus and Boost. | ||
| To support performant _retrievals_ of unsealed Filecoin and IPFS pinned data with a speed comparable to a CDN, a reliable, distributed index of all data and the peer(s) hosting and/or caching it must be assembled, and this index must be replicated to be geographically near the lookups. Comparable lookup and time-to-first-byte metrics are quite difficult to achieve on the DHT. | ||

| One advantage to being completely orthogonal to DHT-based announcing and discovery is that one or more IPNI-style indexer systems can be opted into or out of over time, without affecting DHT performance. |

Did you mean “overtime” (=time someone works beyond normal working hours)? (OVER_TIME[1])
Suggestions: overtime
