I'm don't want to imply that requests should be blocked or stopped to fix
the problem. But if requests were better routed (routed more directly),
would the problem go away by itself? Or would we still need more permanent
nodes? (Also, let's say requests went directly to the node that has the
data. Wouldn't that be contrary to the original Freenet design? Or is that
what specialization means?)
When you say, "it should not be possible to stop Freenet by overloading," do
you mean that even if there are too few permanent nodes, the Freenet
protocol should be designed so that the network isn't stopped? Or do you
mean that we need more permanent nodes to make the network more stable?
