Distributed Hash Table

A Distributed Hash Table (DHT) is a system that allows a group of computers to share and look up data in a decentralized way. Instead of relying on a central server, each computer (or node) holds a small piece of the overall data. When you need to find something, the DHT uses a unique identifier (like a key) to quickly route your request to the relevant node, which can then provide the information. This design helps improve efficiency and reliability, making it easier to manage large amounts of data across many computers without a single point of failure.
