[e2e] Question about DHT

[Joe Touch]

FWIW, you asked two questions (in a sense):

	- can things be placed closer to each other in general?
	- can routing be integrated (that's what datarouter is about)

However, integrated routing has nothing to do with proximity per se.
Routing can shoot packets far from home, if there are low-hop or
high-bandwidth tunnels.

>>Hi all,
>>  Most of recent research in Distribute Hash Table (DHT) seem just focus on the routing in the application layer. However, two nodes that reside close each other in the application layer may be actually in two continents. I think it isn't effient to locate data in a p2p system with such DHT. Does it possible to integrate the underline routing feature with the upper routing in the DHT?
