Description
This issue is part of Epic 3B: Fixes from legacy issue queue.
We should have a short explainer about either DHTs or content routing. It should contain:
- A brief overview of the general concept of DHTs (link to a good doc somewhere else that explains more)
- An explanation of how their role in IPFS (to find content, to store IPNS records)
- Mention that our DHT is Kademlia. This probably doesn’t need more detail beyond noting a few important high-level implications of that choice, if there are any. Link somewhere else for more details.
This is a subtask of #56.
Concept docs are concise, high-level descriptions of various core concepts in IPFS. They live in the content/guides/concepts folder and should strive to answer:
- What is this?
- How does it relate to the rest of IPFS?
- How can (or should?) you use it? (Note: sometimes the answer is that you should understand it, but not use it. Bitswap is probably a good example.)
- Where do you go to learn more?
- What is the current state of affairs?
