But why wouldn't a node just stop allowing connections when it sensed it was being used to much? Limit bandwidth and CPU usage within a given time frame and maybe watch for DoS type issues by only letting a certain number of connections per host per timeframe through? Then you know enough for a node to keep itself from being overloaded. Flip the coin a little and if you know your node is hooking to another node frequently then make some effort to vary your data sources to different nodes? Surely the node must know what other node it's talking to while connecting and transfering data? If 90% of your data is coming from a given node it's a safe bet that it's over centralized and some rebalancing should happen. Or am I missing something? :) _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
