Most networks will not have a node with every ID in the identifier space.
Although there may be many candidate nodes for a certain k-bucket, the maximum number of nodes represented in a k-bucket is k.
In this visualization, k = 4. That is, there can be no more than 4 nodes in each k-bucket.
Hover on a node in the graph to see the candidate nodes in
the network for each of the node's k-buckets.
Click on
a node to see a possible snapshot of its k-buckets.
Note: Filled-in leaves in the binary tree indicate that a node in the network has been assigned that identifier. Leaves that are not filled in represent valid identifiers, but none of the nodes have that specific ID.
