Abstract
Systems, methods, and network attached storage nodes for peer-to-peer file sharing using consistent hashing for distributing data among storage nodes. A plurality of network attached storage nodes may be interconnected by a network and configured for peer-to-peer communication without a centralized server. When a node receives a user data file, it divides the file into data chunks and determines hashes for those data chunks. It uses consistent hashing of the chunk hashes and storage node addresses to map the data chunks to other nodes for distributed storage.
