Well, before we make any such drastic changes we need to sort out the caching behaviour; it is probably wrong at the moment. Is your node on 24x7? On Wed, Jun 21, 2006 at 06:01:54PM +0200, Ruud Javi wrote: > >Is there a serious problem with node location stability? Oskar's > >simulations suggest

The following text is describing a way to have a more stable node location, by treating temporary offline nodes as online nodes. The location of your node is depending on your neighbors. If your neighbor?s locations are all around 0.5, then your node will also try to get a location close to 0

Is there a serious problem with node location stability? Oskar's simulations suggest not. Anything which impacts location swapping will need to be simulated, of course. My main concern with treating offline nodes as online for purposes of swapping is that swaps cannot involve those offline nodes;
