A DHT Oriented Peer To Peer Network With New Hash Function

Nowadays P2P networks are widely used for voice & video communications and also in many transactions like file sharing. In P2P networks DHT (Distributed Hash Table) oriented routing protocols giving an efficient way to search the contents (like files) between various peers. A DHT protocol works on a hash function for the P2P application that provides a key and searches the responsible nodes for the particular key. In this paper the core focus is targeted to identify a new hash function that can enhance the working of DHT by generating a new identifier for p2p nodes. The Chord protocol is also chosen as the routing protocol for the numerous reasons those are conferred in this paper.
