Because all TRKs for a single document route to the same part of the keyspace, only 1 request is needed, and it will find the most recent version no matter how long ago the last update was. With DBRs, if someone hasn't updated their site for a month, a node would have to try to request 30 different keys to find the most recent version. TRKs would be MUCH faster. Also note that setting a TRK's estimate update time to the current time or earlier will always guarantee that the user gets the most recent version (although requests for it would have to go the full HTL, but that's the author's choice). BTW, what ever happened to FASD? -Scott Young _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
