Module libp2prs_kad::kbucket

Implementation of a Kademlia routing table as used by a single peer participating in a Kademlia DHT.

The entry point for the API of this module is a KBucketsTable.

Pending Insertions

When the bucket associated with the Key of an inserted entry is full but contains disconnected nodes, it accepts a PendingEntry. Pending entries are inserted lazily when their timeout is found to be expired upon querying the KBucketsTable. When that happens, the KBucketsTable records an AppliedPending result which must be consumed by calling take_applied_pending regularly and / or after performing lookup operations like entry and closest.
