Bandwidth liability assumes they all cause transfers. Because its objective is to prevent timeouts. It is likely that more requests will be accepted from the node's other peers than from the attacker. The failure table is a simple LRU and items are promoted when accessed. So certainly popular content is likely to survive. > > Cheers, > Michael -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
