eDonkey (the network) is an unstructured network, and Overnet (the
network) is a DHT network developed by the same others.  However,
eDonkey (the software) now uses Overnet (the network) for lookup.

Likewise, eMule (the software) originally used eDonkey (the
unstructured network) but now also uses Kad (the DHT network).
