Opennet may be negatively effecting network topology in this sense: "in a small-world network, most links are short links" (implying that most nodes should have a few far links).
In my observation (not having a firm connection to the larger darknet), the open-net peer selection algorithm might be "too good", in that *ALL* of my peers are super-short links (+-0.01). If this is generally the case, then a request would not be able to make it around the network in 18 hops (more like 50-100), or if it does would have to follow "real" (darknet) links (presuming they would have a higher likelyhood of being far-links. Would it greatly complicate the code to make all opennet-bound peers have two peers "across-the-network"? maybe even ideally one at +0.33 and one at -0.33 from the nodes location? -- Robert Hailey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
