6-- synopsis: 3synopsis: Kademlia implementation used by the dhtd process.
7-- description: 4description:
5
6 Kademlia is a Distributed Hash Table Algorithm, useful for routing in a peer
7 to peer network. In particular, it is the algorithm used by the Bittorrent and
8 ToxChat networks.
9
10 The original intention of this library, was to provide a commons for all
11 implementers and implementations of kademlia. Mostly however, it's present
12 purpose is as the backbone to the routing done by the dhtd unix daemon, which
13 supports both of the afore named networks. One way to bootstrap a peer to peer
14 network is simply to use an existing one. This can be done by interfacing with
15 dhtd, which is available via the dht-client package. If however, you wish to
16 form an independent routing network based on the kademlia algorithm, or an
17 alternative to dhtd, then this library may be of interest to you.

19 That said, this library is not officially released, and all the usual caveats
20 apply until the 1.0 version is announced.
