This paper analyzes, compares and looks at tradeoffs in different load distribution schemes for consistent hashing in DHTs(distributed hash tables). Different traffic patterns, including an adversarial pattern, were constructed to test the load distribution. A simulator was made for each load distribution scheme and the load on each node was recorded for each traffic pattern. It was shown that increasing the number of consistent hash rings doesn't change the load distribution characteristics of the DHT in simple traffic scenarios, but in the case of adversarial traffic, increasing the number of hash rings leads to an improvement of around 15% in the load distribution statistics.
