... Such clustering is a very bad idea. In the end, it makes it very difficult for people outside the cluster to find something from within the cluster, and it...
... I vote against this for a Gnutella-oriented DHT. If you want to use bittorrent, you know where to find it. If you want to search for torrent files in...
... Well said. That is exactly what we should aim for as a first step. Once this works openly (with several vendors inter-operating), we'll be able to see how...
... Mojito is a general purpose Java DHT API. It is not really suited to Gnutella, who will often have more than one value per key. That's why I dislike...
... The basic "security" we want in the DHT is to make it harder for spammers to store improper IP:port values under keys. I say "harder", not impossible. ...
... Clustering will change the topology of the network. And we should be careful. Large scale simulation is needed before deploy if we are going to do this. ...

// Copied from Michael's list of attack scenarios. This is an excellent idea. Let's try to come up with a list of attack scenarios. A couple of suggestions: 1)...

... I'd originally imagined this as something that only leaves would do: they'd connect to the same ultrapeers as their friends, or directly to their ultrapeer...
Firstoff: thanks for posting the updated list! I have some comments again, though. ... Where's the merit in searching for torrent files over the DHT? A search...
... spammers ... impossible. I agree. To make the discussion easier, I wrote an attack model. Please feel free to edit. The spammers know the DHT protocol...

Please don't forget that DHT is NOT a Gnutella. And instead of developing Gnutella future you wasting time by creating yet another DHT-like protocol... IMHO...
... Except for "they are already published stuff" and "there are millions of torrents on the web, mostly organized by cathegory, checked and commented", I ...
... The DHT can supply a missing piece to Gnutella: searches by Hash. It's a big step forward, but that's all it is - one step among many. At least for me. ...
