[chord] question about chord

[David Nguyen]

Hi,

my name is david nguyen, i've emailed a couple times before since we are
just trying
to see how chord works as part of a class study.  I'm a second year graduate
student
in computer engineering and this work is solely for the class, not personal
research.

i had two nodes running chord but was wondering what some of the status
messages
mean.  I understand the ID's and finger table and successor ideas from teh
Chord paper
but was wondering what the end of this logfile (that i created) means:
starting at line  ***********CARDINAL JOINS TRUNKS*************

also, for dhash, is there a paper you could point us to such that we get a
better
idea of what is going on?

Thanks so much,
-dave
