+IPFS by default will use a DHT for content routing. There is a highly
127
+experimental alternative that operates the DHT in a 'client only' mode that can
128
+be enabled by running the daemon as:
129
+
130
+ ipfs daemon --routing=dhtclient
131
+
132
+This will later be transitioned into a config option once it gets out of the
133
+'experimental' stage.
