Description

At the IPFS/Libp2p developer summit in Berlin in July 2018, we had poster-making sessions where people explored various Libp2p concepts. We should expand on the Kademlia DHT posters by adding a doc in the content/guides/concepts folder.

dht_kademlia

dht_kademlia-2


See the concept docs README for more about these docs. They should strive to answer:

  1. What is this?
  2. How does it relate to the rest of Libp2p?
  3. How can (or should?) you use it? (Note: sometimes the answer is that you should understand it, but not use it. Bitswap is probably a good example.)
  4. Where do you go to learn more?
  5. What is the current state of affairs?

Research direction
