Evaluation of DHTs from the viewpoint of interpersonal communications
Jani Hautakorpi, Gonzalo Camarillo · 2007
This paper evaluates several O(log n)-hop DHT (Distributed Hash Table) algorithms' suitability for interpersonal communications. DHTs have been widely used for file sharing, but recent research and standardization efforts are exploring their use for interpersonal communication as well. We identify the desired features of DHTs from the viewpoint of interpersonal communications and evaluate several current DHTs with respect to these features.
