Golang implementation of the Chord protocol

Go Chord

This package provides a Golang implementation of the Chord protocol. Chord is used to organize nodes along a ring in a consistent way. It can be used to distribute work, build a key/value store, or serve as the underlying organization for a ring overlay topology.

The protocol is seperated from the implementation of an underlying network transport or RPC mechanism. Instead Chord relies on a transport implementation. A TCPTransport is provided that can be used as a reliable Chord RPC mechanism.
