It allows for forwarding schemes. If I'm unable to talk to an IPv6 node, I can forward that request to a node that can. That can be done without PK encryption of course. The advantage of fingerprints as addresses in this case is that they survive physical address changes. That means multiple-hop forwarding can be managed with higher reliability. And multi-hop forwarding with PK encryption sounds to me like onion routing. -- zem at zip.com.au F289 2BDB 1DA0 F4C4 DC87 EC36 B2E3 4E75 C853 FD93 zem.squidly.org "..I'm invisible, I'm invisible, I'm invisible.." _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
