1. All search requests have an initial matches-to-live as well as a hops-to-live 2. Nodes receiving search requests with matches-to-live greater than a maximum 'sane' value cap matches-to-live to the maximum sane value before returning results, and possibly passing the request on. Absurd requests will therefore not clog the system up. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
