One example is [InterPlanetary Network Indexers](https://github.com/ipni/specs/blob/main/IPNI.md#readme), which are HTTP endpoints that cache records from both the IPFS network and other sources such as web3.storage and Filecoin. This improves not only content availability by enabling Kubo to transparently fetch content directly from Filecoin storage providers, but also improves IPFS content routing latency by an order of magnitude and decreases resource consumption. -*Note:* it's possible to retrieve content stored by Filecoin Storage Providers (SPs) from Kubo if the SPs service Bitswap requests.
