Instructions:

1. Extract the zip file

2. Go to project3 folder

3. mix escript.build

4. ./project3 num_nodes num_requests
   

   num_nodes - integer
   num_requests - integer
   

   Eg:
   \DOS\Projects\project3
   \DOS\Projects\project3> mix escript.build
   \DOS\Projects\project3> ./project3 1200 15
   

   O/P:
   Average number of hops is 4.95

Bonus Instructions:

usage: ./project3 num_nodes num_requests failure_rate

failure_rate - integer (0 - 100)

What is working:

The chord protocol is working as specified in the paper. Nodes are created and initialized with a finger table referencing other nodes in the network. Once all nodes are initialized they begin to send messages to a random key that is mapped to a node. Each time the message is sent and received, the number of hops increases, and is recorded once it reaches its destination.

To verify output and observe traversal, uncomment line #33 in lib/node.exs

Largest Network:

The largest network used had 250,000 nodes. After that our systems exceeded the max number of simultaneous processes.
