Is Kademlia the same as Overnet?
Short and clear: No. Overnet was the natural serverless evolution of the eDonkey software, while Kademlia is the natural serverless evolution of *Mule clients. Both are based on the original Kademlia algorithm but have been applied in different ways and therefore are incompatible. So, it’s the same philosophy, but different rules. While Kademlia’s development is still going on and has been completly open from the very beginning, Overnet’s development is ended and the Overnet network is not running anymore due to lack of active eDonkey clients.
