No it isn't, because Alice would request something different from that neighbor, and then with that she would learn about more. Also that neighbor could send the letter elsewhere (which he can't in the example, because everybody sends it back to him since he has the fastest connection). Note though that "because they only want to connect to a trusted node" is a way of letting external influences (trust) effect routing as well, and nobody said that does not break the routing. > > > Michael > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev > -- \oskar _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
