Abstract
We argue that the core problem facing peer-to-peer sys- tems is locating documents in a decentralized network and propose Chord, a distributed lookup primitive. Chord pro- vides an efficient method of locating documents while plac- ing few constraints on the applications that use it. As proof that Chord's functionality is useful in the development of peer-to-peer applications, we outline the implementation of a peer-to-peer file sharing system based on Chord.Keywords
