Benefits of UDP over TCP #3
Description
I'm curious as to why you chose to use UDP as opposed to TCP.
For example instead of having a FIND_SUCCESSOR and FOUND_SUCCESSOR message types, couldn't you just open a TCP connection, request the successor, and then get a response with that information?
I'm honestly not that knowledgeable in this area, and would be interested to know if there is a specific reason TCP might not be as good a solution to use with Chord.
