p2psim does not have much support (to my knowledge) for actual
storing of data blocks but it may be more suitable to the kinds
of experiments that you would need to do to evaluate your algorithm.
It is designed to perform (relatively) rapid simulations over trace
files and collect statistics.

The chord system is built to run on multiple computers, over
the wide area.  It would be more useful for confirm that your
simulated results are achievable in deployed systems.
