Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are a cornerstone of peer-to-peer networks, enabling decentralized storage and retrieval of information. DHTs distribute a hash table across multiple nodes in the network, allowing data to be stored and accessed in a distributed, fault-tolerant manner. This design allows for scalability, as nodes can join or leave the network without disrupting service. Each node is responsible for a portion of the hash space, directing queries to the appropriate location efficiently. As data grows, DHTs help maintain performance by balancing the load across the network, making them a key component in modern P2P architectures.
