Hello and support from KadOH about webtorrent HOT 6 CLOSED

However, I think there is probably some parts of KadOH that could
interesting to pickup to continue building webtorrent. We got for
instance an implementation of the Kademlia routing tablehttps://github.com/jinroh/kadoh/tree/master/lib/dht(with its iterative-lookup algorithm) that
webtorrent might be interested in (#11#11
?).

Could you be able to move this to an independent project and show how to
(re-)use it? I think it would be an interesting feature for my ShareIt! P2P
application...

@piranna okay let's start! -> https://github.com/kadoh/routing-table is a rough extraction of KadOH routing table implementation with minimal reformatting.

Wow, fan service!!! :-D Thanks, I'm going to take it a look :-)

@alexstrat - thanks for the note! I remember hearing about KadOH a year ago, but didn't investigate too deeply. I'm definitely going to take a closer look at what you've built and learn what I can that might help WebTorrent. It sounds like you broke new ground with KadOH, doing Kademlia in JS. Very cool!

Your routing table implementation (https://github.com/kadoh/routing-table) sounds like it might be really useful for webtorrent.

Let me know if there are any other pieces of KadOH that might make sense to incorporate or even use for inspiration.

Just a question: KadOH is for looking (routing) peers, for addresing its
content (the files), or for both? At what level is it oriented, transport
or application? I know it's some kind a stupid question, but I'm not so
much into P2P on this details... :-/

@piranna KadOH is not much than an implementation of Kademlia, a DHT (Distributed Hash Table) algorithm. From an external perspective, it provides a way to get and put key/value tuples distributively stored across participating peers.

One key element of the algorithm is indeed the routing (aka finding the right peer(s)): each peer stores contacts of some others in a bit-tree sorted table (that's our routing-table) and finding a peer resides in jumping from peer to peer by querying routing-tables of others thru FIND_NODE RPC (that's our iterative-lookups).

So, to answer your question, KadOH gives solution for looking (routing) peers, but not for addressing content of files. Once you find the peer that got your file (KadOH job), you can establish a P2P connection to transfer the file (ShareIt job)! :)
