DHT Protocol

The Distributed Hash Table (DHT) protocol is a method used in peer-to-peer networks to efficiently locate and share data among many computers without a central server. Each participant (node) has a unique ID and stores a portion of the data. When you want to find or share data, the network uses algorithms to route your request quickly to the responsible nodes based on hash values. This system ensures data is stored and retrieved reliably and efficiently, enabling scalable, decentralized services like file sharing, cryptocurrencies, and distributed databases.
