Description
Abstract: Much research in the last few years has been devoted to development of efficient
structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks, which offer distributed hash table (DHT)
functionality. Most of these systems have been devised as flat, non-hierarchical structures, in
contrast to the most scalable distributed systems of the past. To cope with this, a significant
number of hierarchical DHT designs have been proposed in the literature. Unfortunately, no
design is” universally” better.
