Yeah, but if the network is five times bigger? ARKs should in the not too distant future lead to many transient nodes becoming permanent ones, and many new nodes being permanent rather than transient. And the network will continue to grow, and the simulations suggest that it scales at roughly O(n^0.28), and we really don't want to have to increase the HTL right at the last minute as we put out 1.0-pre1 (no, this is not likely in the near future... but the point is it's better if we increase it earlier rather than later...). However, maybe you have a point. It probably makes sense to defer this for 0.5.2 and see what happens (other routing-related changes will probably go into 0.5.2 - multiplexed connections probably, probabilistic caching when the datastore is 90%+ full, etc). > > I agree with gj - think we can leave this alone. > > Ed Tomlinson
