Routing architecture

[liamzebedee]

Purpose: To efficiently distribute messages to the appropriate nodes in a structured manner

These are some ideas:

• Request-reply (includes survey pattern)
• Publish-subscribe
• Some form of structured gossip (bloom filters?)

While the overall model of the routing is structured (that is, we should not get into an infinite routing loop), it is yet to be determined whether the simple Kademlia approach should be implemented or whether other, more creative avenues should be explored.

XDen should be designed to be a moderate to high performance - that is the majority of nodes should be updated within a relevant period.
