        Structured peer-to-peer overlays, sometimes also referred to as
        Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), are scalable network infrastructures
        that support Internet-scale network applications utilizing a
        decentralized resource model.  At their core, these overlays provide
        Key-Based Routing (KBR), where messages addressed to any Key will
        incrementally route towards an overlay node responsible for that key.
        On top of the KBR layer, these overlays can support distributed
        storage using a DHT layer or data location using a DOLR layer.

        On top of these overlays, researchers have proposed numerous
        distributed applications, including distributed storage and backup
        systems, multicast systems, resilient routing networks, distributed
        spam filters, mobility support and anonymous routing networks.

        Chimera is a light-weight C implementation of a "next-generation"
        structured overlay that provides similar functionality as
        prefix-routing protocols Tapestry and Pastry.  Chimera gains
        simplicity and robustness from its use of Pastry's leafsets, and
        efficient routing from Tapestry's locality algorithms.  In addition to
        these properties, Chimera also provides efficient detection of node
        and network failures, and reroutes messages around them to maintain
        connectivity and throughput.
