The most prominent would be:
* CHK success rate from seed nodes should be 100% (or at least no different 
from a common non-seed node)
* there should be no "classes" of seed nodes (e.g. busy ones working & 
lesser-ones not)

There are also less clear indicators:
* announcements prematurely ending through some seed nodes
* announcement rejection rates
* network fracturing/reachability

I'd be happy to detail the theory and supply a patch (though both might be more 
readily available through the list archives)...

In a nutshell, it amounts to the "valid" paths (from the seed nodes into the 
network) by virtue of being traveled by the announcement are consumed by the 
invalid/fledgling nodes (as that's where they get hooked in). The depth-first 
notion intends to solve this by replacing the "deep" connections and not the 
shallow ones that the seed nodes rely upon (and has a strong theoretical analog 
to insertion requests).

Sorry... insufficient available time.
