LOL, yeah. This is exactly what you and Toad were talking about, plus lots of other goodies thrown in. I was so busy writing this that I wasn't reading my email, now as I look back through, I see the two of you were descussing many of the issues that I struggled to sort out to write this. It was realy a let down to see that this wasn't going to be totaly unexpected.
Anywho, It ammounts to killing querys baised on time, not HTL. It makes Freenet a positive trust baised network, (read the archives) I bleeve I responded to you a few times talking about some of the implications of this. It eliminates pDNF entirely, which I had come to the conclusion was causing NGrouting to fail. It eliminates vunerability to Black Hole nodes, which I did not know existed, when I wrote this. It impliments proportional querry rejecting. (see the archives where I post sample data talking about a split lifo/fifo system.) It also enables QRing baised on key, etc. Toad: Please give this a very thourough look over. But I think this should be a general solution to most network problems / flooding attacks. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
