<h1>DHT Technical Specification Milestones 1-3/5</h1>
<p>
We are happy to announce the completion of the following milestones for the DHT specification. The objective is to provide a detailed and comprehensive guide for implementors of the GNUnet DHT "R<sup>5</sup>N".
The milestones consist of documenting the base data structures and processes
of the protocol.
This includes the specification of the DHT message wire and serialization formats.<br>
</p>
<p>
Completed milestones overview:
<ol>
<li>Defined base data structures and processes that form the foundation of the protocol: Routing table, distance metrics, infrastructure messages, bootstrapping and base functions for block processing.</li>
<li>Defined the core data structures and processes that are specific to the R<sup>5</sup>N protocol: Block and peer filtering, routing table management and lookup algorithms.</li>
<li>The protocol was extended to support path signatures. This enables optional integrity protection of paths result messages have taken in a potentially rouge environment.</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>
The current protocol is implemented as part of GNUnet 0.17.x and gnunet-go as
<a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnunet-developers/2022-06/msg00019.html">previously announced on the mailing list</a>.
</p>
<p>
<b>We invite any interested party to read the document and provide critical
review and feedback. This greatly helps us to improve the protocol
and help future implementations. Contact us at <a href="mailto:gnunet-developers@gnunet.org">the gnunet-developers mailing list</a></b>.
As part of the remaining milestones, the specification will be updated and
interoperability testing will be conducted.
Further, we aim to present the draft specification at IETF.
