Peer-To-Peer File Share Server using Chord Distributed Hash Table

This project is an implementation of peer-to-peer file sharing network using chord dht. nodes.txt file lists the peers which are part of the chord p2p network. keyspace for each node is calculated by taking SHA256 of [ip]:[port]. following methods are supported:

writeFile, readFile, setFingertable, findSucc, findPred, getNodeSucc.

Apache Thrift is used to perform RPC calls.

run the server:

make start

starts single server on port 9090

to run more servers nodes use: source ~/.bashrc && ./server [port]

upon starting the server nodes mentioned in nodes.txt, run the init script with: init nodes.txt

make sure apache thrift is added to your path.

make client for testing

make client

restart server ( to rebuild ):

make restart

server should be running on:

[ip]:[port]

port will be printed out when the server start.
