Actually I realise now that Floyd's Tortoise and Hare can only find loops in linked lists that don't fork, so not that interesting.
I'll present my DLD at IETF and see if anybody there knows of any alternatives or improvements
Floyd's Tortoise and Hare could be implemented if each node uses a wall clock. The message they forward could also contain a timestamp, that would prevent missing loops due to clock skew.
It is not able to find kites but I should compare it to Giraffe for performance on O and P loops.
