When a visor wants to find another visor&rsquo;s DMSG servers, it queries <code>dmsg-discovery</code>. When it wants to know what transports are available, it queries <code>transport-discovery</code>. When it wants to find a VPN or proxy, <code>service-discovery</code>. These services are reliable and fast, but they&rsquo;re single points of failure and they concentrate load on the deployment operator.</p> <p>Over the past week, we&rsquo;ve been building and deploying a Kademlia DHT that will gradually replace these centralized services with peer-to-peer discovery. The production deployment is transitioning from the source of truth to a bootstrapping point and network observer.</p>
