Dave, Thanks for your detailed read and comments. Going to try to incorporate them into the next update.

Actually, ping-frequency doesn't come into play very much here. First, it's very long, and second, the algorithm uses randomness in its finger table searches, trying to avoid this problem. It's more of an issue for neighbor connections, which are tried more aggressively. But if you're using periodic recovery, you get that automatic bit of hysteresis. A reactive recovery implementation probably would want to detect and avoid rapid oscillations, but the draft doesn't go into that detail right now. Probably it should mention it.
