Fixing the Embarrassing Slowness of OpenDHT on PlanetLab

Abstract

We adopt the position that the best solution to the problem of slow nodes is to modify our algorithms to account for them automatically. Using a combination of delay-aware routing and a moderate amount of redundancy, our best technique reduces the median latency of get operations to 51 ms and the 99th percentile to 387 ms, a tremendous improvement over our original algorithm.
