> P2P networks rely on some variant of DHT to route messages.
❌ False. Only #p2p protocols still operating on assumptions made in the early 2000s about network topologies use DHTs.
It’s true that #DHTs are highly vulnerable in terms of security. Although locality can be improved, they remain fundamentally inefficient due to the fact they maintain an overlay mapping of what in reality is an extremely dynamic and ever changing network topology.
