Chord project
"The Chord project aims to build a scalable, symmetric and robust distributed systems using peer-to-peer ideas. The basis for much of our work is the Chord distributed hash table lookup primitive. Chord is completely decentralized and can find data using only log(N) messages, where N is the number of nodes in the system. Chord's lookup mechanism is provably robust in the face of frequent node failures and re-joins."
Chord is being developed at MIT.
Chord has not yet been officially released. The current Chord source code can be downloaded and used under the ____ license.
