<!-- file version 2013.05.28.01 -->
<p>The current NetDB implementation (namely the FloodFill system)
needs to be extended with another backend to improve reliability,
reduce attack surface and solve the scalability issue for the
coming years.
</p>
<p>A solution likely based on a DHT will be investigated and
finally implemented.
</p>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<dl>
<dt><b>Lookup speed</b></dt>
<dd>Lookup time is crucial since request will be done in real time
and destinations can't be communicated with until a lookup has
completed and should therefore be minimized.
</dd>
<dt><b>Attack resilience</b></dt>
<dd>The solution should ideally be (or be extensible to be)
resilient against
<a href="how_threatmodel.html#sybil">sybil and eclipse</a> attacks.
</dd>
<dt><b>Scalability</b></dt>
<dd>The solution need to scale from the current number of nodes
to at least one million nodes without major modifications and
still maintain an unlimited search horizon.
</dd>
