Abstract
In system of networks that are not fully meshed with each other and that are capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, message flooding of GET messages is limited by maintaining a list of DHTs the GET has visited. Also, PUT messages include not only the storage location key in the home network but also a list of networks that the PUT has visited, in essence establishing a dynamically changing path within the PUT back to the home network.
