assuming that routing is random, then 100 attempts to search at HTL=5 will be as good as (or better than[1]) 20 attempts at htl=25. In a working network, with real routing, the first few request at HTL=25 will find the data if it's in the network at all, even if 100 requests at HTL=5 don't find anything. Thelema [1] because of QR and what not cutting into the HTL=25 requests actual depth more -- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Raabu and Piisu GPG 1024D/36352AAB fpr:756D F615 B4F3 BFFC 02C7 84B7 D8D7 6ECE 3635 2AAB _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
