When I implemented the Depth it was setting HTL to 256 on all replies. I don't like this at all - it provides no mode of scalability, and having even a portion of the nodes set it wrong will be disastrous. And the bigger we make the number to begin with, the deeper we will be in it when the network grows to the point where it is too little (if IPs had been 16 bit to begin with, the change to a 128 bit standard in the early 90s would have been much easier then what we are in for now). I agree that the depth is a little bit cludgy, but I don't want to see it replaced by "We will never need more then 640K of RAM". > > theo > > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev -- Oskar Sandberg md98-osa at nada.kth.se #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
