Numbers I've seen show 8-10M for users in the DHT at any one time. If it's actually 100M all the better. > That's not enough.

Considering the DHT already scales to 2^23 peers, what causes you to think the next 2^7th is going to cause problems? Especially when router table and traffic increases with the log(peers)? Current bittorrent clients often have 20 bins in use, tracking about 160 peers per 15 minutes. That would only change toe 27 bins (216 hosts) for 1 billion peers. Seems workable to me. Did you have some specific concerns? _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
