Maybe interesting aside: I saw a link to this when it was first published at the height of the p2p networks craze and noticed some similarities between the two. One of my students at the time, Mahadev Konar, ended up writing a paper "Ring-like DHTs and the Postage Stamp Problem" [1] that shows how you can use solutions to the postage stamp problem (aka denomination-choosing problem) as a way to structure the finger pointers in Chord. And went on to co-found Hortonworks. Sometimes random things on HN end up having implications in other areas! [1]: https://alexmohr.com/papers/dht-postage-stamp-podc2005-exten... |
