Survey on Distributed Hash Tables
Filipe Araújo, Luı́s Rodrigues · Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology (RCAAP Project by FCT) · 2006
In this paper we review distributed hash tables (DHTs) that work as overlay networks on top of the IP network. We compare these DHTs under a number of key aspects that concern performance, scalability and self-configurability. Additionally, since these networks are not suitable for wireless ad hoc networks, we shortly review techniques that can be used to take distributed hash tables to wireless environments.
