Thus, by not respecting the "private" flag, the clients can leech all day without it affecting their ratio. So basically, my understanding now is that the DHT Layer is what allows for the decentralization of torrents.
(So DHT is not part of the bittorrent specification At least, it wasn't in May 2005, but who knows now.) Anything existing outside of those specifications is not BitTorrent. BitTorrent is a distinct networking protocol, of which is specified by creator Bram Cohen. Decentralized networks that utilized DHT technology are able to search and locate files significantly faster than networks that do not use it.ĭHT is a layer added on top of the BitTorrent network to assist in Azureus' performance. DHT is a networking protocol that enhances the scalability and efficiency of decentralized networks by creating a virtual index rather than broadcasting search queries.
What is the DHT Layer? I would consider myself as being torrent savvy, but I have no clue what this means.ĭHT stands for Distributed Hash Table.
