Let's say I have an app that uses /dev/random and can possibly contribute
data to the pool.

In my app, remote peers generate on their own a 64-bit SPI value.  Remote
peers also come from different remote IP addresses, and sometimes different
remote ports.

I'm curious if I stir this in if it will overwhelm /dev/random or if its
entropy sources more than dominate anything I can contribute.  Are there
guidelines for good *writers* into /dev/random?

Just trying to help!

Thanks,
Dan
