Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are crucial in Peer-to-Peer networks. They enable efficient decentralized storage and retrieval of data. Nodes in a P2P network use DHTs to locate resources without relying on a central authority. This enhances scalability and resilience against failures. Popular DHTs like Chord, Pastry, and Kademlia have shaped how P2P systems operate providing a robust foundation for decentralized applications.
