I am just wondering about FIND because I have not heard about it in the context 
of other DHTs out there such as bamboo, chord etc. Why is so special to 
the RELOAD case. I thought updating lists and neighbor tables can be done use 
UPDATEs

Best,

FIND can be used to explore the overlay instance. It is particular useful 
when updating successor list/neighbor table.

However, there are other techniques of exploring the overlay such as 
obtaining the routing table of a node.

FIND may not be very useful in unstructured overlays.
