I'm fairly certain that RNF occurs before the data is actually uploaded. > 3.

When a collision occurs, the existing data is propagated back to the inserting node. If you find the file you were inserting, it was there. You can't be sure that there isn't some other data under the same KSK; that condition is reserved for CHKs. > If anyone wants to know why i want to know all this: I plan to add a > feature to FIW's nim inserter to advance to the next slot when there is > a key collision.

Just request the collided key with HTL=1 after the collision. You'll get whatever it collided with unless the node has an unreasonably high turnover or tiny datastore. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+RtgZx533NjVSos4RAvWmAJ4yluDBLQGYnB58A3uUkhbPhU/T/gCgiVWd bZi9j/jwinB6xioJXarDXPo= =9reO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
