[Kademlia]

Hello all,

Just wanted to ask if the kademlia implementation used in the e-mule source code v0.47 is portable to other system (other than emule). That is can I make a system that will use Kademlia to search the internet for a keyword and list the results to be used by other applications?

Thank you very much,

regards

If you have to ask: don't do it!

Hello Mr. leuk_he,

How are you,

I am new to emule. I am trying to get in the work and start helping in the development of emule. I read about kademlia and I liked the idea alot, so here is where I would like to start.

My question was about the possibility of taking the kademlia code written for emule, implement it in a very simple program so that I will have a simple testbench to see what I can try and explore the results.

Excuse me for any misunderstanding but this is my first step and I will appreciate your help alot...

Thank you very much.

Regards

I would also like to ask if here is the place where technical questions about kademlia can be posted.

Thanks again

Right here.
And please don't post multiple posts after another, there is a "edit" button, you know?

You CAN of course port Kademlia BUT it will require much effort, knowledge about the code AND about how Kad works and of course much time!

Fixed.

@Kademlia: Just out of curiosity, what do you plan to do with the Kademlia network once you've gained the ability to publish and retreive data from it?

I want to implement Kademlia alone just to have a test bench to test any new improvements or new features to be added.

So I want to take kademlia out of emule to get rid of the code complexity related to other features of emule.

So for this reason, I asked the question about PORTING KADEMLIA.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

[Kry]

I THINK YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

[PacoBell]

Kry, you do your branch of the NWO proud

You want to test new stuff on our Kad network? What kind of new features are we talking about anyway?

[Kademlia]

Excuse me all of you,

I told you before that I am a beginner and this is why I am here to get your help.

All I want is a C++ project that implements Kademlia alone i.e. testing the function Start, Connect, Search...

Would you please tell me if such a solution exist?
Is this a great deal?

Regards for all

kademlia in java would be great

[Kry]

Dude, java is where the first eMule kademlia implementation was ported from.

[PacoBell]

Kademlia was originally implemented in Java. It was called VarVar, for those of you new to the game. I'm personally not a fan of Java, but to each his own.

[Kademlia]

Question:

How did the writers of Kademlia C++ code test their code. Was it integrated in E-MULE and then tested or it was tested on a seperate project then integrated in E-MULE?

[PacoBell]

John, care to field that one?

P.S. AFAIK, eMule was the only testbed for the Kademlia network. There was never any "standalone" programs created for it. I don't seem to see any in the SourceForge archives, either.

It was included into eMule first, then tested (and it wasn't John, PacoBell )

I know. The java kad source is not available ! So give me a link to the source of Var Var. Ok will resaerch this. Jmule is not working and never worked and does not work without c++ dll ´s !

Why not making emule-kad in java ? any interested in this mod ? come to p3p for kad.

if you want to run emule over a proxy, then only p2p proxies are useful, i2p and ants are the only working ones and they are both in java.

The original java implementation from the papers is in java....

see:
Kademlia Java Implementation

I found this implementation for kademlia in java but its documentation is not in english. Hope this will help. Clearly it didn't help me coz i want a stand-alone kademlia but in C++ testing main functionalities such as Start, Stop, Search ...
