KademliaDHT
========
This is an implementation of the Kademlia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia) routing protocol and DHT.
This is an implementation of the Kademlia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia) routing protocol and DHT in Java.
I wrote an article [An Introduction to Kademlia DHT & How It Works](http://gleamly.com/article/introduction-kademlia-dht-how-it-works). Have a read.

Note: This repository is a Netbeans project which you can simply download and import.
Usage
-----
The Implementation is meant to be self contained and very easy to setup and use. There are several tests (https://github.com/JoshuaKissoon/Kademlia/tree/master/src/kademlia/tests) which demonstrates the usage of the protocol and DHT.

All of Kademlia's sub-components (DHT, Node, Routing Table, Server, etc) are wrapped within the Kademlia object to simplify the usage of the protocol. To create an instance, simply call:
```Java
Kademlia kad1 = new Kademlia("OwnerName1", new NodeId("ASF45678947584567463"), 12049);
Kademlia kad2 = new Kademlia("OwnerName2", new NodeId(), 12057); // Random NodeId will be generated

Param 2: A NodeId for this node

You may want to save the Node state when your application is shut down and Retrieve the Node state on startup to remove the need of rebuilding the Node State (Routing Table, DHT Content Entries, etc). Lets look at how we do this.

Usage in a Real Project
-----------------------
I am currently using this implementation of Kademlia in developing a Distributed Online Social Network Architecture, you can look at that project at https://github.com/JoshuaKissoon/DOSNA for more ideas on using Kademlia.
