Claim Text:
1. A method for redundant storage of video objects, comprising: creating a key from a hash of a resource identifier associated with a video object; storing the video object, associated with the key, in a root node of a distributed hash table; and replicating the video object in the distributed hash table based on a redundancy factor associated with the video object by storing the video object in at least one further node of the distributed hash table, wherein the distributed hash table is a decentralized distributed system comprising a plurality of storage nodes, the plurality of storage nodes including the root node and the at least one further node, and wherein the plurality of storage nodes are logically arranged in a ring so that each storage node is communicatively connected to two neighbor storage nodes in that each storage node can forward data to the two neighbor storage nodes.
