It would certainly be possible to implement multiplexing in a backwards compatible way. HOWEVER, at some point we would want to make multiplexing mandatory, because the old way of dealing with connections is so damaging. And for various other reasons it seems a network fork/reset would not be a bad thing at this point in time. > > Colin > > On Oct 15, 2003, at 3:12 PM, Brandon Low wrote: > > >Currently freenet can only send one message or piece of data in either > >direction on a connection at a time... with connection multiplexing, it > >can send several different messages over the same connection. > > > >As you can imagine this helps a lot of overhead in connections and > >whatnot. > > > >--Brandon > > > >On Wed, 10/15/03 at 20:09:26 +0100, Simon Porter wrote: > >>If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is multiplexing and in what > >>way > >>will it help freenet? > >> > >>Thanks, > >> > >>Simon > >> > >>>-----Original Message----- > >>>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:devl- > >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Toad > >>>Sent: 15 October 2003 19:53 > >>>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>>Subject: [freenet-dev] Another Drastic Solution > >>> > >>>Suggestion: > >>>I implement multiplexing and test it on a local testbed of a few > >>>nodes. > >>>I don't implement any kind of backward compatibility. > >>>Followed by a larger testbed of a few volunteers' nodes. > >>>Followed by a network reset - wide deployment, without backward > >>>compatibility. > >>>-- > >>>Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>>Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ > >>>ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
