For the DHT protocol, there are four queries:

  • ping: to check if another node (one from its DHT routing table) is online and reachable,
  • find_node: find the contact information for a node given its ID,
  • get_peers: get peers associated with a torrent Infohash,
  • announce_peer: to announce that the peer, controlling the querying node, is downloading a torrent on a port.
