NAME

Net::BitTorrent::DHT - Kademlia based Distributed Hash Table

Constructor

new ( [ARGS] )

Creates a Net::BitTorrent::DHT object. This constructor should not be used directly.

Methods

node_id ( )

Get the Node ID used to identify this client in the DHT swarm.

Bugs

  • Currently, the routing table is flat.

Notes

While bandwidth to/from DHT nodes is not limited like other traffic, it is taken into account and "drained" from the rate limiter. If there's a burst of DHT traffic, the peer traffic will be limited to avoid the total to exceed the global limit.
