DRinge
DRinge is a concept referring to a family of distributed data structures and routing protocols that organize computing nodes into one or more interlocking rings to support scalable, fault-tolerant communication in decentralized networks.
In DRinge, each node maintains a local view of its neighbors on one or more rings, including
Security features may include authentication of ring links and encryption of control messages; some variants separate
Variants include DRinge-L for low-latency routing in smaller networks and DRinge-S for secure, churn-resilient deployments.
Applications range from distributed file systems and content delivery networks to sensor networks and edge computing
History: The term DRinge has appeared in theoretical discussions and early prototypes exploring ring-based interconnects in
