Investigating generic network location service based on dht technology
Laban Mwansa, Jan Janeček · 2008
Networking technologies use several addressing/ identifification schemata (MAC addresses, IP addresses, DNS names, SIP URIs and E.164 numbers, GSM BTS identifications), efficient and reliable translations among them influence networking service. Older translation schemata are using tables and their hierarchies formed statically and dynamically (e.g. ARP, DNS, ENUM). Schemata for recent networking services (e.g. SIP which provides SIP URLs to IP addresses translation) are proposed on the basis of Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs).
