I'd like to see all nodes store *everything* *everytime* that they find data in a new short-term datastore. The existing datastore can hold long term specialised information as now.
The short term store does not apply to insertion requests. The short-term store can use the current store implementation code (but with a different file) as the short-term bit is just a matter of how the client uses the store. If you are worried that the route could be traced based on retrieval timing, then maybe have each node simulate a random delay to pretend that the data was not cached locally. This could drammatically reduce network traffic and node load. I have always been unhappy at a single tier of LRU store, since data popularity is not related to data long term value. E.g message board daily index. Also it might be advantageous to have a client specified privacy level on each request. Then less private and faster routing algorithms could be used when privacy was not required. -- Christopher William Turner, http://www.cycom.co.uk/ Java development since 1996 http://club.cycom.co.uk/tms.htm Terminology Management software http://club.cycom.co.uk/wt.htm Wind Turbine blade design software _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
