[chord] maintenance cost for Chord's finger tables.

[Hathai Tanta-ngai]

Hello there,

I'm working on service discoveries in P2P systems.
I found out that Chord has interesting properties to locate services.
I studied Chord from your paper entitled Chord: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer
Lookup Protocol for Internet Applications, appeared in IEEE/ACM
TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING. The paper does not mention about the
maintenance cost of the "stabilization" protocol which updates Chord's
finger tables and sucessor pointers. Could you plase give me the number
that I can see the state-management of Chord? I would like to analyze if I
can extend the size of the routing table and when the limitation occurs.
Your feedback is really appreciate.

Regards,
Hathai
