Line 8: == History == DHT research was originally motivated, in part, by [[peer-to-peer]] (P2P) systems such as [[Freenet]], [[Gnutella]], [[~~BitTorrent (software)\|~~BitTorrent]] and [[Napster]], which took advantage of resources distributed across the Internet to provide a single useful application. In particular, they took advantage of increased [[Bandwidth (computing)\|bandwidth]] and [[hard disk]] capacity to provide a file-sharing service.<ref>{{cite journal \|last1=Liz, Crowcroft\|display-authors=et al \|title=A survey and comparison of peer-to-peer overlay network schemes \|journal=IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials \|date=2005 \|volume=7 \|issue=2 \|pages=72–93\|doi=10.1109/COMST.2005.1610546 \|citeseerx=10.1.1.109.6124 \|s2cid=7971188 \|url=http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/2005/AdvSysTop/survey.pdf }}</ref> These systems differed in how they located the data offered by their peers. Napster, the first large-scale P2P content delivery system, required a central index server: each node, upon joining, would send a list of locally held files to the server, which would perform searches and refer the queries to the nodes that held the results. This central component left the system vulnerable to attacks and lawsuits.
