CHRing is an experimental consistent hash ring implementation based on a skiplist and f448(), a tabulation hashing function for this purpose. This post provides an overview of the CHRing testing API and the related RPCL control words.

f448() is another tabulation hashing function which maps two uint32_t to an uniform hash result of type uint64_t. This is useful to implement a skiplist based consistent hash ring with 2^64 possible ring slots (or positions).
