The token is proof that the query was sent _after_ the overload cleared, and solves the problem of accepting messages which the peer expected would be ignored and already sent to another peer. > As maybe you know, this is not the first time a requestee-controlled QR > backoff scheme has been proposed.

I fell behind in reading all of the messages on devl. I'll look at that thread. Thanks. My bandwidth data included two columns, unlabeled. The left column is output data and the right column is input. By way of comparison, here are my bandwidth measurements since I have been running a freenet node (sending, receiving: bytes/second averaged over 24 hours. Data from partial days omitted. The date and time shown is the end of the 24 hour period).
