Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Kademlia: A Peer-to-peer Information System Based on the XOR Metric |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Nodes have identifiers. Distance is XOR. Each node keeps contacts in buckets by distance, and a lookup walks toward the target in logarithmic steps. |
| Who may write | Petar Maymounkov and David Mazières |
| What is settled | XOR is a metric. It is not a security claim. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Kademlia does not authenticate the data. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
