This is a Go implementation of a vanilla Kademlia DHT. The implementation is based off of a combination of the original Kademlia whitepaper and the xlattice design specification. It does not attempt to conform to BEP-5, or any other BitTorrent-specific design.

This project has not been heavily battle-tested, and I would not recommend using it in any production environment at this time.

• uses uTP for all network communication
• supports IPv4/IPv6
• uses a well-defined Store interface for extensibility
• supports STUN for public address discovery

• Implement STUN for public address discovery
• Load testing/Benchmarks
• More testing around message validation
• More testing of bad/malicious message handling
• Banning/throttling of malicious messages/nodes
• Implement UDP hole punching for NAT traversal
• Use loose parallelism for iterative lookups
• Consider breaking store into two messages and transfer bulk of data over TCP
• Implement republishing according to the xlattice design document
• Better cleanup of unanswered expected messages
• Logging support
