'''Vivaldi Network Coordinates''' establish a virtual positioning system that has a prime use in [[computer network|networking]].

== Description ==

The [[algorithm]] behind the system uses a distributed technique to estimate propagation times between peers in the network.

Through this scheme, [[network topology]] awareness can be used to tune the network behavior to more efficiently distribute data.

For example, in a [[peer-to-peer]] network, more responsive identification and delivery of content can be achieved.

In the [[Azureus]] application, Vivaldi is used to improve the performance of the distributed hash table that facilitates query matches.
