@EnchanterIO (Lukáš Lukáč) posted a new topic, subject "Kademlia DHT and node's PeerID". It read:

   Hi, from reading about Kademlia DHT algorithm I see that a node can be located on the network using a Connection Details + Node ID:
    
    > Kademlia routing tables consist of a _list_ for each bit of the node ID. (e.g. if a node ID consists of 128 bits, a node will keep 128 such _lists_ .) A list has many entries. Every entry in a _list_ holds the necessary data to locate another node. The data in each _list_ entry is typically the _IP address_ , _port_ , and _node ID_ of another node.
    
    **Question**  
    If my node pins some content and announces it to the DHT network. What happens if my node's IP changes but my PeerID stays the same?
    
    Will I have republish all the content to the DHT?

So @hector (Héctor S.) replied

    In simple terms, there are 2 types of records:
    
      * content to peer ID
      * peer ID to IP address.
    
    
    
    Therefore you only need to update your Peer record with your new IP address.

After which, @EnchanterIO (Lukáš Lukáč) added

    The exact answer I was hoping for, otherwise it would be very unfortunate.
    
    Thanks Hector!
