[p2p-hackers] Where do bright minds discuss p2p technology?

[Michael Parker]

Have you tried using a Distributed Sloppy Hash Table abstraction 
(DSHT)? It may not be appropriate in all situations, as it only returns 
a _subset_ of values stored under a particular key. Nonetheless, it 
seems quite efficient as it is what the Coral CDN uses to avoid 
swamping any one node. It works with Chord, Kademlia, and other 
topologies can be fit to use it (although not all -- Pastry comes to 
mind).

See the paper here: http://www.coralcdn.org/docs/coral-iptps03.ps

Mike
