None of that really matters if Mars is on the other side of sun from Earth. You'd need relay satellites to direct the signal around the sun, and even at the speed of light that's going to take tens of minutes, one way.
As the parents suggest, even at Earth-Moon distances, we need to completely rethink things.
My guess is we'll just have local datacenters on mars for the big services (google, netflix, etc). And then more websites will use services like cloudflare so they can get their website cached on mars. AWS will eventually have a mars datacenter. No need for IPFS.

We’ll end up with the same, TCP-based system, except it’s going to be somewhat different, as time scales are not invariant for us humans.
