What is This?
NEW: SIPDHT2 is now available on a separate webpage
The primary goal of the SIPDHT project is to provide a library to be used in applications for creating and using SIP based distributed hash tables. The algorithm implemented is loosely based on P2P SIP work (draft-bryan-sipping-p2p-02) and its primary intent is to be a work bench for the specification process.
Moreover, a set of tools which use the library is provided, both as an example and for manipulating real distributed hash tables. Such tools are:
- sipdht: for creating a node of a Distributed Hash Table
- sipdhtp: for inserting a key-value pair in a Distributed Hash Table
- sipdhtg: for getting the value associated with a key in a Distributed Hash Table
- sipdhtw: for exploring a Distributed Hash Table
NOTE: both the project and the web site have been heavily restructured. You can find documentation about previous versions in the old site.

History
SIPDHT was born in an attempt to provide running code to the P2P SIP community for making its road in IETF easier.
Initially it consisted of tools useful just for playing with toy DHTs. Then, thanks to the precious work made by Stefano, it evolved and now the main functionalities have been collected in a separate library. The old tools have been rewritten and now are useful both for testing and as esamples.
