Re: [freenet-dev] NGrouting and random first step

Doesn't this cause less than optimal specialization?  Maybe the data would have been found in less than that 25 htl if your node heads in the right direction in the first place? ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Rodland To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 8:30 PM Subject: Re: [freenet-dev] NGrouting and random first step -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1   Ian Clarke wrote: | |Bottom line, the whole random routing thing was a solution to a problem |that nobody ever observed, and in all liklihood - would never |actually occur in practice. Please don't let's forget that random first hop is the only thing that makes retrying of any use after we reach HTL=25 and want to keep trying, because of ftable. And I think that people will agree with me, that as it stands it frequently _does_ pay off to try HTL=25 HTL=26 HTL=27 until you get something, because the increasing HTLs will bypass ftable on your node, and random first hop will send it off in a direction that might not have an ftable entry (or at least, at a lower HTL). It frequently manages to get a document even after we've failed out at 25. - --hobbs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org   iD8DBQE/HdcX6xdpaulLLFURAuUHAJ9evTy62/DzvjbyeEQz6iEaXR60lACfRK2F AeIzKK7FHfzrRxMRHLe3rnc= =BQ+v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
