DHT Scaling Research

In this research we try to understand if our approach to the Bittorrent replacement in the status community archive use-case is feasible given that it requires handling large number of CIDs. I.e. can the DHT handle such large load of CIDs or to state it differently, how much bandwidth is expected for participants in the network? Understanding this can given us an indication of what the lower/upper bounds of the number of communities and number of members in each of these communities.
