Peer to Peer Systems

The goal of this assignment is to check the comprehension of the basic concepts of the Distributed Hash Tables.

The text of the assignment is available here. The assignment is based on the following papers: Pastry, Scalable, Decentralized, Object Location and routing for large scale peer-to-peer systems, and Improving Look-up-performance over a widely deployed DHT.

I have created a forum whose name is Assignments which is opened to the teacher and to all the students: I suggest to post any problem about the assignment here. I will reply asap, in the meanwhile each student can partecipate to the discussion!
