Kademlia implementation

Up until now, I have used opedChord as my DHT middleware. It is written in Java and Scala, as previously posted has a good compatibility with it, however, it limits Scala functionalities. I have decided to try an implement my own DHT (Kademlia).

It is not a common practice to implement something yourself, if there is a perfectly good open source project available. However, I believe I can learn a lot from the experience both about DHTs, in particular Kademlia and Scala of cause.
