Abstract
DHash is a new system that harnesses the storage and network resources of computers distributed across the Internet by providing a wide-area storage service, DHash. DHash frees applications from re-implementing mechanisms common to any system that stores data on a collection of machines: it maintains a mapping of objects to servers, replicates data for durability, and balances load across participating servers. Applications access data stored in DHash through a familiar hash-table interface: put stores data in the system under a key; get retrieves the data. DHash has proven useful to a number of application builders and has been used to build a content-distribution system [34], a Usenet replacement [118], and new Internet naming architectures [133, 132]. These applications demand low-latency, high-throughput access
