1) You failed to explain what kernel support, if any, would be needed for this
protocol.  What does Kademlia do that the current kernel can't handle already?
(Hint - if it runs on a Windows system without patching the Windows kernel, it
almost certainly doesn't need extensive patches for Linux either).

2) You forgot to cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, which is where all the networking
people hang out.
