BEP 32: IPv6 extensions to the BitTorrent DHT

BEP-32 extends the BitTorrent DHT to work over IPv6:

• BEP 32, formatted (local copy);
• BEP 32, RST source (local copy);
• BEP 32 (official copy).

There are now quite a few implementations of BEP-32:

• version 0.11 and later of my DHT (see below), included in Transmission version 1.80 and later, in Hekate, and in recent versions of Shareaza.
• version 1.3.1 and later of the Azureus Mainline DHT plugin;
• version 0.95 and later of BitFlu;
• recent versions of ktorrent;
• recent versions of Tixati.

There's a bunch of bootstrap nodes available; please see this forum posting for more information.

BitTorrent DHT

I am the author of the DHT library used by the Transmission, Hekate and Shareaza BitTorrent implementations.

README, CHANGES, slides from a talk about Kademlia (in French).

You may get the last version by doing

git clone git://git.wifi.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/dht

or from the mirror on GitHub

Released versions are in my download area.

BitTorrent DHT bootstrap node

This is a non-standard implementation of the DHT that is optimised for maximising variety of the returned nodes, and is therefore suitable for bootstrap nodes. Please see the README, the list of CHANGES.

You may get the last version by doing

git clone git://git.wifi.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/dht-bootstrap

or from the mirror on GitHub.

Minor extensions to the DHT

µTP support for Transmission

I am the author of the µTP support in Transmission. This has been merged into the Transmission trunk, and is enabled by default.

On a related note, see this note about tweaking TCP's congestion control algorithm.

Hekate

Hekate is a highly concurrent BitTorrent seeder.
