The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for a joining node to join a ring of nodes within a rendezvous federation. Embodiments of the invention include establishing a neighborhood of multiple nodes on the ring of nodes. The joining node indicates its intent to take id-space ownership for a portion of the id-space between the joining node and a selected immediately adjacent node. The joining node initiates a one-way monitoring relationship with the selected immediately adjacent node. The joining node receiving an indication from the selected immediately adjacent node that indicates acceptance of the joining node's intent to take id-space ownership for a portion of the id-space between the joining node and the selected node and indicates establishment of a one-way monitoring relationship between the selected node and the joining node. The joining node agrees to participate in a one-way monitoring relationship with the selected node.
