How are peers coordinated? Does it scale?

The current Alluvium codebase includes a distributed hashtable implementation based on Chord. This method of peer coordination should scale very well. However, this is not enabled in the beta version which is now being tested. In order to reduce variables in the beta test, coordination is done by the Open Content Network gateway. It is currently unknown how many simultaneously peers the gateway server can handle. We hope to discover this during the beta testing period.
