Actually, now that I think of this, broadcast updates aren't such a wonderful idea. But then, this would overall have less overhead than deep requests. Deep requests (that is, looking beyond the nearest node which has a document for the latest version) would mean that a large amount of network usage would result from each request. On the otherhand, broadcast updates would result in more network usage *per update*, but then, updates would probably be far less often than requests. On the third hand, deep requests would probably be more reliable than broadcast updates because network outages at critical points would have less effect because the effects of network outages would be purely temporary, but if a network outage blocked a broadcast update from getting propagated to most of the Freenet, it would almost be if the document had not been updated at all. > On Mon, 08 May 2000, Travis Bemann wrote: > > On Mon, May 08, 2000 at 10:36:45AM +0200, Oskar Sandberg wrote: > > > > > > You said the "B" word.
