I was asking kind of the same question in http://hawk.freenetproject.org/pipermail/tech/2002-February/001249.html , but here is the jist.
Let's say I want to insert a 4 block splitfile. There are two scenarios. Scenario one: I insert each block with an HTL of 4 which effectively puts each block on four nodes. This is a total of 16 uploads. So there are a total of 4 unique keys. Scenario two: I use some sort of algorithm, i.e. FEC, to compute 400% redundancy. I insert each of these 16 blocks with an HTL of 1 which effectively puts each block on one node. So there are 16 unique keys. Now which is more efficient? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
