One radical proposal that I think might be quite useful: We reinstate something in the spirit of the watchme network. Since everything is tracked, there is no anonymity, so it would only be used for testing i.e. exchange of legal files in an attempt to simulate normal network conditions. The original watchme code won't provide sufficient data to debug NGR, and since there is no anonymity, we can perhaps go for something more radical:
Remote access to everything on the web interface, AND LOGS. Remote setting of logLevel, logLevelDetail and perhaps other options. Automatic upgrading, perhaps with remote triggering, or perhaps on a timer. Basically we want a couple of hundred 'drone' nodes that we can experiment on, to try to speed up the debugging cycle, and to enable us to track what is happening between nodes at the network level as well as on our local node. Prerequisites would be a little higher than a normal node, especially on disk space (need space for logs... perhaps a lot of space, but hopefully we can control it by being careful with logLevelDetail). What do people think of this suggestion? Would you be willing to run a 'drone' node (or two)? This would be a separate network, completely independant of the main, fully protected network, used for development of routing algorithms etc. Just like with watchme, nodes on the drone network would not be able to talk to regular nodes. We could also provide a warning on the web interface. It should help to solve various major problems with both routing and several other subsystems (connection dying for example).
