This is insane. You click a link in fproxy then wait HTL*5 hours to get the result? I think a timeout appears somewhere, long before that data being transferred from that queue, so transferring it is pretty useless 5 hours later. OK, alchemy: 6 kbytes/sec= 360 kbytes/minute. What if we set a limit on this "Bytes waiting to be sent", and the limit would be the bandwidthlimit (bytes/sec) * 60, so the amount of data we can transfer in one minute. If more data is waiting we QR. Also, as it was discussed, maximum key size should be reduced to something like 64 kbytes. This helps the trailers finish intact, less likely being damaged, and a trailer blocks 1 connection for much less time. And we shall limit the number of trailers being sent at the same time as they slow each other down. edonkey works the following way: You set the bandwidth limits, upload say 6 kbytes/sec, the download is automatically limited to maximum 4 times of upload, in that case 6*4=24 kbytes/sec, and maximum 4 nodes can download at the same time, each with 6/4= 1.5 kbytes/sec in average. If one takes the data slower the others comsume more bandwidth. All the others sending requests are put on a queue, which is usually several hundred requests long. But edonkey is non-anonymous file-sharing, you can leave it running overnight, while freenet with fproxy "promises" humanly acceptable response times. I think it would be nice to queue the requests at the requestor's node, and not letting them out to the network until some finishes. So each node would have only a few parallel requests on the network. I know it's easy to circumvent. That way someone running frost, or a 600 mbytes FEC insert, could see that he just generated X thousand requests, and most of them waiting at his node to get out to the network. And as it progresses he could see in node diagnostics that the latest thing he requested will be delivered in Y hours. That way if you just wanna see a freesite and send only a few requests, you will get it rather quickly. If you insert/retrieve big files your response time will be hours. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
