Abstract
Disclosed are examples of decentralized systems and related apparatus, devices, computer program products, and methods for distributing digital content. In some implementations, an overlay network of fabric nodes is implemented in an application layer differentiated from an internet protocol layer. One or more network-wide parameters and a node identifier (ID) identifying a fabric node are obtained. A set of partition identifiers (IDs) for the node ID is determined using the one or more network-wide parameters. The partition IDs identify partitions to be managed by the fabric node. At least a portion of digital content in the overlay network can be distributed using a partition ID.
