Consistent Hashing - class HashRing<T>

The HashRing implementation as a generic class

//Fields
SortedDictionary<UInt32, HashRingLocation<T>> _locations;

//Properties
private SortedDictionary<UInt32, HashRingLocation<T>> LocationDictionary
{
     get
     {
          _locations = _locations ?? new SortedDictionary<uint, HashRingLocation<T>>();
          return _locations;
     }
}

public List<HashRingLocation<T>> Locations
{
    get
    {
         return LocationDictionary.Values.ToList()  /// The locations collection; 
    }
}
