Other than for latency issues in our protocols, there's enough fiber to generally ignore our global traffic impact... torrent, video and cloud are dominating that, not messaging anymore. >> Scaling to 10B is going to change that much, 5 more bins, 40 more host >> to ping every 15 minutes. > I believe this is actually an issue.

I think the question is, can we do what we want to do within the bandwidth that our target users have available to them... such as say a 56k channel, 128k, 512k, etc. If we're using 32 of 56k for maintenance, that may leave little left for the signal you want to send through. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
