The node that is requesting the data does not know the content of the data unless it gets it. One could start hashing values until one finds one that matches the hash they want to route with. Then they start subtracting numbers from that until they find one who's last few bit match the one they just found. They use the second number as the the hash and the number they subtracted as the XXX. Anyway this is a moot point, as my new proposal solves this problem. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
