But since our current hope time mu and sigma are 12 seconds a piece
this could make Freenet damm slow.
Maybe satisfied requests could pass on a YouShouldHave message. This
would cause the node to start up a request if it doesn't have the
data, or forward a YouShouldHave if it does.
An since with an announce protocol the node knows it's center of
keyspace (COKS) it can tell when it has hit a local epicenter and
maybe forward to a random node.
But as I've said many times - in a cellular automa system simulation
is the only way of testing.
