Cool, experiment Tracy!!! Sure the DS doesn't determine most of specialization, but at least it should have had some effect. > I have been thinking about the possibility that the network is just too > chaotic and unstable to ever converge but I have forced convergence on my > node and other nodes still are not learning. To me this says bug. If you wanted to force the system more. Maybe you could delay queries outside of a particular area of hashspace. Of coarse that means going into the code. > As we know, specialization is absolutely necessary for freenet to scale > otherwise we are just a broadcast search network.

No bueno. Actually it'll be something proportional to 25*25*n, since the search HTL counts too. Of coarse that's all O(<average store size>), which blows. Cool experiment, let's see what happens now that they've got that bug fixed. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
