Chord Protocol Implementation

---

Note: To run the abobe code files run the bootstrap file on every console.

Reference Paper:

• Chord: A scalable peer-to-peer lookup service for internet applications
• Wiki

Steps to Execute the Program:

1. Clone the Git repo into your local System.

   $ git clone https://github.ncsu.edu/ajain28/ajain28-HW2-CSC591.git

2. Go to the root of directory.

   $ cd ajain28-HW2-CSC591

3. Run the Bootstrap file on the console.

   $ . bootstrap

4. To build this C++ project use make Command.

   $ make

5. All the required Executables are generated and Now we can execute the code. As mentioned in the homework we can run this in batch mode or interactive mode.

   Format: chord [-i <input_file_name>] <number_of_node>

   e.g.

   $ chord -i input.txt 3

   $ chord 3

6. It will display output on stdout.

NOTE: All the exection needs to be run from the Project directory which in this case is ajain28-HW2-CSC591.

Note: All '$' written here means your prompt.

You also have Interactive mode. which can be used by running the code as follows: $ chord <number_of_nodes>

7. After adding/dropping the node to chord ring you have to call stabalize and fix_finger to make it stablize explicitly. There is no periodic call to these method in this Chord Simulation.
