[[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_Kademlia?|Kademlia]] is a [[Server|server]]less [[network]] for the *[[Mule]] [[client]]s.

It is based on the Kademlia algorithm by [http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/~petar Petar Maymounkov] and [http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/~dm David Mazières] ([http://www.nyu.edu New York University], 2002).

The network itself is used as a distributed database of the files and clients on it. The main goal is to provide a reliable, fast, and almost impossible to shutdown way to keep this information. At client to client level, the protocol used for file transfers is shared with the [[ed2k]] network at this point, tho this could change in the future.

For information about it you can either read the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_Kademlia?|ED2K-Kademlia FAQ]] or see [http://emule-project.net/home/perl/help.cgi?l=1&rm=show_topic&topic_id=232 eMule's support page].
