Key(MultiHash)

Converts the peer ID to a routing table key.

Declaration
public static byte[] Key(MultiHash id)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MultiHash id

A multihash
Returns
Type Description
Byte[]

The routing table key.
Remarks

The peer ID is actually a multihash, it always starts with the same characters (ie, Qm for rsa). This causes the distribution of hashes to be non-equally distributed across all possible hash buckets. So the re-hash into a non-multihash is to evenly distribute the potential keys and hash buckets.
