Do you plan to use the DHT also as a storage facility, or just its key-routing layer? If you need storing values persistently and with some fault-tolerance mechanism built-in, you might want to look carefully at how the replication system works. The Chord paper is far from being detailed from this point of view, and in a real world implementation it's not trivial at all to get it right. In particular, it's not trivial to tune the protocol parameters to ideal values according to your context. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
