Absolutely NOT, if node A waits for it's next request until it gets a response to it's first request, we have just gone to a protocol with worse problems than TCP w/o tcp transmit windows. This would cause nodes like mine or ther other big nodes to snail down to a pace where the latency of the network would discourage ME from using it. --B > > Ian. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
