+# This testcase simply checks that the DHT command-line tools work.
+# It launches a single peer, stores a value "testdata" under "testkey",
+# and then gives the system 50 ms to fetch it.
+#
+# This could fail if
+# - command line tool interfaces fail
+# - DHT plugins for storage are not installed / working
+# - block plugins for verification (the test plugin) is not installed
+#
+# The code does NOT depend on DHT routing or any actual P2P functionality.
