To me, specialization is a function of factors across the entire network; not only does your node have to be good at responding to queries in a certain area of the keyspace (a subjective measurement if there ever was one), but also requests for that data have to be routed to you from other areas of the network. In an anonymous network like freenet, t*this* is the part that there's no good way to gather data on, and thus measure. > A sort of engineering > principle springs to mind, that something there is no way to measure > probably doesn't exist for all practical purposes.

I hope it never was a criteris for measuring the success of routing. There's a very simple criteria that will measure the success of routing; how much time requests take.
