Package dht implements a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) part of the BitTorrent protocol, as specified by BEP 5: http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0005.html BitTorrent uses a "distributed hash table" (DHT) for storing peer contact information for "trackerless" torrents. In effect, each peer becomes a tracker. The protocol is based on Kademila DHT protocol and is implemented over UDP. Please note the terminology used to avoid confusion. A "peer" is a client/server listening on a TCP port that implements the BitTorrent protocol. A "node" is a client/server listening on a UDP port implementing the distributed hash table protocol. The DHT is composed of nodes and stores the location of peers. BitTorrent clients include a DHT node, which is used to contact other nodes in the DHT to get the location of peers to download from using the BitTorrent protocol. Standard use involves creating a Server, and calling Announce on it with the details of your local torrent client and infohash of interest.
