Proposal: Only route high HTL requests (say 15+) to nodes which are
no longer "newbies", that is, which have uptime of over 5 minutes.
Nodes which are newbie are not dropped even if they are at the
bottom of the LRU; nodes over this have survived through being useful.
This should increase the cost of attacks involving maintaining
connections to lots of opennet peers.
The catch is that this might affect routing resulting in new nodes
having too few long links???
I think you over-estimate the disruption. On the positive side, not
routing requests to new-nodes (or at least not as a first choice)
might avoid the temporary dead-ends created by bootstrapping nodes.
Of course if we never route to a "new" node, it will never prove
itself and graduate from being "new".
