Question 1

What is the primary purpose of a Distributed Hash Table?

  • To centralize data
  • To provide a put/get interface
  • To solely maintain peer connections

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how a traditional hash table functions.

Question 2

True or False: DHTs provide deterministic lookup guarantees.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the structured nature of DHTs.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a small DHT network for a file-sharing application, explaining how data would be stored and how a user would search for a file.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how honesty and robustness in peer communications impact the reach and retrieval processes.

Question 2

Analyze the potential impact of high churn on a hypothetical DHT and recommend strategies to mitigate its effects.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on real-world applications where turn rates are high and solutions that have worked.
