Hi, thanks for the very informative thread. My intuition is that there is no real difficulty porting the K buckets of Kademlia into Chord. Even more especially when the Chord implementation has built-in support for lists of successors. Can you confirm this intuition is right ? thanks, Em. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
