The principle and application exploration of Kademlia's structured P2P

Abstract

Kademila is the P2P overlay Network Communications Protocol designed by Petar Maymounkov and David Mazières, which structures the distributed P2Pcomputer network. It is the P2Pinformation system based on the XOR, lays down the network structure and specify the node communication and the mode of mail exchanger. Kademila is the third generation of P2P Peer-to-Peer technology and a network mechanism of Structured P2P. It is based on the DHT (Distributed Hash Table) and XOR, and achieves Overlay Network structure , node instant allocation and the explicit search of resource, which is used widely in the new generated P2P software, such as BitTorrent and OverNet. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
