Abstract
In this paper, we categorize the ways in which Bamboo,
Chord, and Kademlia break down under non-transitivity,
and we enumerate the ways we modified them to cope
with these shortcomings. We also discuss applicationlevel
solutions to the problem. Many of these failure
modes and fixes were quite painful for us to discover, and
we hope that—at least in the short term—this work will
save others the effort. In the longer term, we hope that
by focusing attention on the problem, we will encourage
future DHT designers to tackle non-transitivity head-on.
