The “Mainline Kademlia” protocol
Kademlia is a description of the network interactions and rpc calls that can form a distributed hash table. Today, these kad based DHTs are one of the most common forms of distributed storage. However, since kademlia does not specify the application level protocol to make calls, it is instead implemented on top of existing application… Continue reading The “Mainline Kademlia” protocol
Distributed Computing and Me
The moniker distributed computing has become a broad catchall term that has been applied to everything from parallel computation to the auto configuration of ad-hoc networks. In order explore the technical problems in this field it is necessary to clearly define what exactly the field is, and to this end I want to elaborate on… Continue reading Distributed Computing and Me
