rust-dht

A work-in-progress implementation of Kademlia-based DHT in Rust language. Unlike other implementations this one is concentrated on simplicity and extensibility.

Build

Use cargo tool to build and test.

Status

Currently implemented or have a good progress:

• Node struct: endpoint address + ID, representing this Node in the system.

• GenericAPI trait: base trait for all protocol implementations.

• knodetable::KBucket: k-bucket implementation.

• knodetable::KNodeTable: node table with k-buckets.

• service::Handler: handler of DHT requests.

• Service: main class - DHT service.

lib.rs:

Distributed Hash Table.

The goal of this project is to provide flexible implementation of DHT for different kind of Rust applications. There will be loosely coupled parts:

1. DHT neighborhood table implementation, will be represented by GenericNodeTable trait and KNodeTable implementation.
2. Generic DHT logic implementation in Service and service::Handler structures.
3. Generic bits for implementing protocols in service::Handler structure and protocol module.
4. (In the future) simple implementations for testing purposes.
