[flud-devel] A one hop DHT.

[Bill Broadley]

I've not heard much here lately.  In related research I came across the paper
that I thought might be worth mentioning (google should find it):
      D1HT: A Distributed One Hop Hash Table

It makes some interesting points, especially for those takes where a DHT
is on the critical path for a ton of operations that in a traditional DHT with 
a bunch of peers might take on the order of a second per lookup.  After all 
24MB routing table for 1M clients it's exactly much storage these days, and
being able to talk directly to the host you need to store/lookup a key can be 
quite a performance boost.

In any case it might be worth a read for anyone that has a DHT application 
that might be bottlenecked by the more traditional DHTs.
