Abstract
We describe a peer-to-peer distributed hash table with provable consistency and performance in a fault-prone environment. Our system routes queries and locates nodes using a novel XOR-based metric topology that simplifies the algorithm and facilitates our proof. The topology has the property that every message exchanged conveys or reinforces useful contact information. The system exploits this information to send parallel, asynchronous query messages that tolerate node failures without imposing timeout delays on users.
Keywords
- Distribute Hash Table
- Replacement Cache
- Close Node
- Close Leaf
- Empty Bucket
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
