I don't quite get it... You mean that we need to keep transient data in order to verify the CHK upon d/l completion? (and then some more until the requesting node receives it, of course) If you mean that, I was under the impression that we use temp space for that anyway. On the other hand, I'm not dismissing storage altogether, I only mean that it could be a of a size enough for this kind of routing. In that respect, we don't even need a store size limit, just a way to always delete data after we're done forwarding it. Storage is needed anyway so that we keep the link to the supplying node (I don't remember the name for that) for each CHK we've successfully transfered (you know, so that we find it faster in the future).
