In my personal experience, a HTL of 100 is advantageous. > It seems that if we make the DEFAULT 100, we're going to be getting > lots of "flying dutchman" requests hogging up processors and > bandwidth, when in fact whatever they're looking for is pretty much > unfindable. Perhaps, however OTOH if a HTL100 request can find a piece of information and spread it, then it will save the network the burden of several requests at less than 100 which max out failing to find the data. To put it another way, while making the default 100 increases the burden of failed requests, it will also reduce the number of failed requests, AND make a better user-experience for all.
