Title: Kademlia Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:kademlia URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT Kademlia is a distributed hash table for decentralized peer-to-peer computer networks designed by Petar Maymounkov and David Mazières in 2002. It specifies the structure of the network and the exchange of information through node lookups. Kademlia nodes communicate among themselves using UDP. A virtual or overlay network is formed by the participant nodes. Each node is identified by a number or node ID. The node ID serves not only as identification, but the Kademlia algorithm uses the node ID to locate values.
