Hi,
I am going to do my master thesis in simple discovery protocol (SDP) to reduce the required overhead and improve its scalability. The current discovery protocol (SDP) uses flooding multicast storm in the network since that every Participant should sent to all other peers in GDS information about all the Endpoints that under that Participant. I want to propose to use a structured DHT overlay as an infrastructure for discovery protocol so it is going to replace the flooding method with sort of structured tree-based network using one of DHT algorithms.
