DHT Routing Algorithms

DHT, or Distributed Hash Table, is a method used in decentralized networks to efficiently locate and retrieve data. Think of it as a large digital address book spread across many computers. Instead of one central server, each computer holds a small part of the data and knows how to find others. When you need information, the DHT routing algorithm helps quickly navigate this network by following a set path to locate where the data is stored. This allows for fast searches, even as computers join or leave the network, making it robust and scalable.
