Overview

Package balanced provides methods to build balanced DAGs. In a balanced DAG, nodes are added to a single root until the maximum number of links is reached (with leaves being at depth 0). Then, a new root is created, and points to the old root, and incorporates a new child, which proceeds to be filled up (link) to more leaves. In all cases, the Data (chunks) is stored only at the leaves, with the rest of nodes only storing links to their children.

In a balanced DAG, nodes fill their link capacity before creating new ones, thus depth only increases when the current tree is completely full.

Balanced DAGs are generalistic DAGs in which all leaves are at the same distance from the root.
