Kademlia Documentation
======================
.. note ::
This library assumes you have a working familiarity with asyncio_.
This library is an asynchronous Python implementation of the `Kademlia distributed hash table <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia>`_. It uses asyncio_ to provide asynchronous communication. The nodes communicate using `RPC over UDP <https://github.com/bmuller/rpcudp>`_ to communiate, meaning that it is capable of working behind a `NAT <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT>`_.
This library aims to be as close to a reference implementation of the `Kademlia paper <http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~petar/papers/maymounkov-kademlia-lncs.pdf>`_ as possible.
