If the theory that NGRouting and traditional routing as implemented by stable (without much actual specialization) is correct, then we have a few options: 1. Try to get a big enough NGR-only test network for routing to actually take place, and test that. Drawbacks: difficult to compare performance between networks, would need at least 200 nodes to demonstrate routing.
2. Merge immediately. Drawbacks: massive, not properly tested, end user visible change. 3. Continue trying to make the bloody thing work. Drawbacks: IF the theory is correct, this is futile; RNFs and very low success probabilities will prevail. Side notes: What is still left to do on unstable? Routing is the core. The consensus on IIP is that it is working better than stable in all non-routing areas... The most responsible thing would be to try to do #1... I need at least 100 volunteers with permanent nodes... include NGRTEST in your subject line. I need to know at least most of the participants, because we need to have a good idea of the size of the test network initially. Running more than 1 node per computer might or might not be helpful... And of course there is the issue of content. If there is sufficient interest this is definitely the way to go. But if it turns out to be another prodnet of 30 or so nodes running on 10 PCs, it won't be so good. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
