Hrmm. Well then another possible explanation is that very many nodes are underloaded, and so the request won't get far before it reaches a node that resets the datasource... load balancing interfering with probabilistic caching... hrmm. I am reluctant to weaken the load balancing, because it would seem a reasonable way to try to reduce the network imbalance... the other possibility is to not (or not usually) reset hopsSinceReset on a datasource reset... which means that a node can distinguish a reply from the original datasource from a reply from a node that just happened to reset the datasource... which probably isn't a good idea. > > Ian. > > - -- > Ian Clarke ian at locut.us > Coordinator, The Freenet Project http://freenetproject.org/ > Founder, Locutus http://locut.us/ > Personal Homepage http://locut.us/ian/ > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Debian :: The Universal Operating System > > iD8DBQE+xI8BQtgxRWSmsqwRAg6YAJ9spJPezgrH1ZJsw/JA85D3KasN4ACdF7b3 > 4VqlzC2Zl56xaNeIX+fdnfg= > =eILv > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
