# A DHT implementation for Dagger
This DHT implementation is aiming to provide a DHT for Dagger with the following properties
* flexible transport usage with
* fast UDP based operation
* fallback to TCP-based operation (maybe though libp2p)
* support operation on top of libp2p
* flexible message encoding that plays well with the above transports
* provide node lookup, content storage/lookup, and provider storage/lookup operations
* roughly follow the libp2p-dht specifications from https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/kad-dht
* provide compatibility mode with the above specs
Current implementation is based on nim-eth's Discovery v5 implementation. Base files were copied
from nim-eth@779d767b024175a51cf74c79ec7513301ebe2f46
