The Chord Project

Chord is a flexible lookup primitive intended for use in peer-to-peer environments. The Chord primitive maps keys to servers in a decentralized manner and requires only log(N) messages to perform the mapping where N is the number of nodes in the system.

We have used Chord to build a peer-to-peer file system but Chord can be used in a wide variety of peer-to-peer applications.
