I was confused when I first read this as my initial contact with DHT's was for bittorrent. Having read the wiki page on Kademlia it seems like a generic way of spreading queries for a given "hash/content id" in a more efficient manner. Does this mean DHT will replace the normal Gnutella search queries? What about searching by keyword? It seems everything is becoming content addressed now which is useful as hashes are unambiguous. However finding out what hashes you want is still at the mercy of the normal Gnutella network? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ <Knghtbrd> I can think of lots of people who need USER=ID10T someplace! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
