I have thought a bit about buffering in freenet, but it doesnt really imo solve anything: it sounds very nice at first, because you could just send things full-speed to your next peer, which buffers the data (to some extent), and does the same thing onward. Now we can have very fast back-to-back transfers... but sometime the buffer space will surely run out, and the _average speed_ will probably be very low anyway due to excessive waiting for buffer space, and final notifications from destinations, but we are also using up alot of diskspace of intermediate nodes during the process. Also, I dont know how much freedom there is in choosing where to route inserts for the algorithm to work? Choosing another route at step 1 for example, might make the path much longer to our target destination. --- John B?ckstrand
