If we somehow took pingtime into account in the datastore, creating a slight pressure towards sending requests to closer nodes. At the moment requests will only be sent towards closer nodes in terms of information space, but perhaps a preference for sending requests for the closest node in terms of IP would be useful for increasing efficiency (at present Freenet treats all nodes equally regardless of proximity so spatial proximity will only play a part indirectly - ie. because people close together might request similar things).
Just throwing an idea into the maelstrom... It would be easy to implement and would increase efficiency. Ian. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
