Summary0007138: Calculation closest peer is inconsistent with distance metric
DescriptionThe distance metric is calculated very differently from how we check if our own peer is the closest peer:
https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet.git/tree/src/dht/gnunet-service-dht_neighbours.c?id=9e0d7d411363999bca89f7e7b4e2896b8f6ec931#n949

While the distance metric (0007136) checks matching bits, checking if we are the closest peer to a key only checks for matching suffix lengths.
IMO GDS_am_closest_peer should do a distance comparison (which may use suffix matching for bucket selection for efficiency).
TagsNo tags attached.
