I agree with this completely, and hope more people understand this point. > What it should do it influence it to specialize > near 'A' (now that routing is 'fixed'). > well, sorta... really, it shouldn't matter what's in your store. > Specialization is not only what is in your DS but, also what keys your node can > find quickly.

The network doesn't and can't know what's in your store or routing table. It'll just make requests of you based on your past performance, and expect you to be efficient in replying with data (or quick DNFs). It's more or less your node's responsibility to get good at some kinds of requests based on what the rest of the network asks of you, and if you don't get good at a certain area of request, the network should tend to ask you for that area less. *That*'s specialization. *That*'s freenet routing. -- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Raabu and Piisu GPG 1024D/36352AAB fpr:756D F615 B4F3 BFFC 02C7 84B7 D8D7 6ECE 3635 2AAB _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
