Introduction

DKS is a peer-to-peer middleware developed at KTH/Royal Institute of Technology and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) in the context of the european project PEPITO. It is entirely written in JAVA. Supports scalable Internet-scale Multicast, Broadcast, Name-based Routing, and provides a simple Distributed Hash Table abstraction.
