IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Join Mechanism
The introducer is the node that has the address JOINADDR. Every other node will 
have a different address. It is assumed that the introducer won't fail, as there 
is no way to replace it in the current implementation. However, the functionality 
implemented by this node can also be carried out by any other node. When the 
introducer receives a JOINREQ message, it will reply with a JOINREP message that
contains a list of neighbors for the new node in the system.
