I have limited access to the messages on the list at them moment, so I'm not sure if I am answering the right question. Does this have to do with a node accepting data from a faster connection and streaming it out a slower one? If so, there is no problem. This happens all the time. For example, consider an old/slow system on a fast network downloading a file from a fast server using ftp. The old system will receive packets faster than it can process them and store the data. The TCP receive window for that connection will fill up and the sender will stop sending data until the window opens. Any system that can't handle this is seriously broken. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
