This project is a demonstration of the Chord Distributed Hash Table (DHT) algorithm in a peer-to-peer network. It provides a visual representation of how nodes in the Chord network update their finger tables by checking the node IDs of known nodes.

The core logic of the Chord algorithm is implemented in the chord.rs file. This includes the creation of nodes, updating of finger tables, and handling of predecessors

Get the app from release and run the runapp.sh file.

./runapp.sh

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

• Rust programming language
• Flutter for UI visualization

1. Clone the repository

git clone <repository-url>

2. Navigate into the rust project directory

cd <rust-project-directory>

3. Build the project

cargo build

4. Run the project

cargo run

5. Navigate into the Flutter directory

cd <flutter-project-directory>

6. Run the flutter application using

flutter run

The application starts a rust local server that listens for incoming connection from Flutter app. It receives nodes from the Flutter, processes them, and sends back the fingertables.

The visualization of the finger table of each node can be viewed in the Flutter application.

• Rust - The programming language used
• Flutter - The UI toolkit used for building the visualization
