go-dht

DHT models in golang. Use gRPC for communication.

Protocol

gRPC is used for communication between nodes. Chord and Kad RPCs are defined as two different services in protobuf file. And here's an additional service called DHT, through which clients control DHT node and modify keys in DHT.

Chord

Chord is a DHT protocol and algorithm. Here I use SHA-1 as hashing function, and select first 16 bits of hashing result as node identifier. You may change it in node/chord.go.

To run tests,

go test ./node -v -short

For system test (build cluster and stabilize it, usually takes longer time),

go test ./node -v

To quickly setup a cluster of 50 nodes,

go run ./rpc_cluster

To run a single node,

go run ./rpc_node

To test key modification in cluster (put, query and delete 2000 entries),

go run ./rpc_client

Kademlia

Kademlia is expected to be implemented.
