As you probably know I am all for splitting requests and having the network optimise to the physical Internet. But how does this resolve the Ubernode problem? I guess it could counter the intentional mallicious ubernode. But it could increase the dependency problems, where nodes come to depend on one or very few other nodes. In fact the classical 'servers' of the internet have a high probabillity of becoming these ubernodes. I still think limiting the number of references to a specific node is a nescesary feature. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
