Kademlia... that's distributed hash tables, aka DHT. DHT uses servers to lookup and locate nodes. Therefore it's not truly distributed, thus not P2P.
In contrast, the Xnode protocol, upon which the XBridge is based, is completely serverless in operation and truly distributed.


So what exactly will XBridge use?

I'm told Telehash v.3.

Mesh networking - like XCurrency, and a bit of DHT too for scalability.

Completely serverless of course.

https://github.com/telehash/telehash.org/tree/v3/v3

https://github.com/telehash/telehash.org/tree/v3/v3
Code:
the focus for v3 is to enable private communication between SMALL numbers of TRUSTED nodes
Huh Huh Huh

This:

Since DHT alone doesn't meet the requires of XBRIDGE, we won't be cloning anything.   Xbridge will be a new P2P protocol - merging XNode, DHT and telehash.

First you said Telehash v.3 will be used, but when I've pointed that telehash is designed for small number of trusted nodes you changed your mind. Better make up your mind and update the OP. Horrible marketing.


Rubbish. I quoted a statement Dan made before your post.

Additionally I mentioned DHT before, which you neglected to notice.
