my impression is that it has more to do with the search / routing algorithm itself; at some point you time out or fail a query. once a network reaches sufficient size with low node degree the ability to reach some arbitrary subset of the graph is thus constrained by the excessive path length required. i don't know that unidirectionality would alter the behavior much, and fortunately wireless networks are the only transport where unidirectionality may be common. the naive approach (high TTL, broadcast and forward?) hits practical (bandwidth) limits long before theoretical ones. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@zgp.org http://zgp.org/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers _______________________________________________ Here is a web page listing P2P Conferences: http://www.neurogrid.net/twiki/bin/view/Main/PeerToPeerConferences
