I've checked the archives for something similar, can't find anything, so here goes.
One of the problems with dial-up nodes is their dynamic addresses, so references to them become invalid. I propose that every time a dial-up node logs on, it inserts a "fake" document into the network, its key is the average of all the keys stored on the node. It contains no data, just identifing the transient nodes as it source. Then searches on keys close to this average key (thus close to documents in the tranisent node) will be referred to that node. The fake document would be inserted in the normal manner, so into nodes likely to recieve close search requests. The fake document could be provided with an expiry time (say six hours) after which it would be deleted, so nodes aren't clogged with fake references. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
