Abstract: We present a new overlay, called the Deterministic Decentral-
ized tree (D2-tree). The D2-tree compares favourably to other overlays for
the following reasons: (a) it provides matching and better complexities,
which are deterministic for the supported operations; (b) the manage-
ment of nodes (peers) and elements are completely decoupled from each
other; and (c) an e±cient deterministic load-balancing mechanism is pre-
sented for the uniform distribution of elements into nodes, while at the
same time probabilistic optimal bounds are provided for the congestion
of operations at the nodes.

is presented for the uniform distribution of elements into nodes, while at the same
time probabilistic optimal bounds are provided for the congestion of operations at the
nodes. The load-balancing scheme of elements into nodes is deterministic and general
enough to be applied to other hierarchical tree-based overlays. This load-balancing
mechanism is based on an innovative lazy weight-balancing mechanism, which is
interesting in its own right.
