| | The Bamboo DHT -- Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | A distributed hash table, or DHT, is a building block for peer-to-peer applications. |
 | | At the most basic level, it allows a group of distributed hosts to collectively manage a mapping from keys to data values, without any fixed hierarchy, and with very little human assistance. |
 | | Compared to Pastry, the algorithms are more incremental, a difference that allows Bamboo to better withstand large membership changes in the DHT as well as continuous churn in membership, especially in bandwidth-limited environments. |
