Hello,
I have a couple of questions reguarding the number of bits of the identifiers to give in input to the simulation: if we must use SHA1 for node identifiers and keys, considering that the number of bits output of SHA1 is 160, how can we use the number in input if it's different from 160?
Furthermore, if we use 160 bits for the identifiers, the coordinator could have some troubles to work: with a low number of nodes the finger tables will have few different entries and the routing will be similar to navigate a linked list; with a huge number of nodes the coordinator will have a big burden generating and writing on file the finger tables, and the simulation take a lot of time. How can we deal with that?
