The Net::OpenDHT module provides a simple interface to the Open DHT
|
||
|
|
service. Open DHT is a publicly accessible distributed hash table (DHT)
|
||
|
|
service. In contrast to the usual DHT model, clients of Open DHT do not
|
||
|
|
need to run a DHT node in order to use the service. Instead, they can
|
||
|
|
issue put and get operations to any DHT node, which processes the
|
||
|
|
operations on their behalf. No credentials or accounts are required to use
|
||
|
|
the service, and the available storage is fairly shared across all active
|
||
|
|
clients.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This service model of DHT usage greatly simplifies deploying client
|
||
|
|
applications. By using Open DHT as a highly-available naming and storage
|
||
|
|
service, clients can ignore the complexities of deploying and maintaining
|
||
|
|
a DHT and instead concentrate on developing more sophisticated distributed
|
||
|
|
applications.
