One other thing that could speed up routing is a CP increase routine that takes the destination machine's IP into account. For instance, a node talking to another node at my ISP will be faster than my node talking to a node halfway around the world. A bunch of Freenet nodes at a college would talk to each other a lot faster than talking to my node. Et cetera.
This increase in efficiency could be gained by changing the CP reward system to take into account distance in the IP address space. Basically, compare the destination IP with the local IP (the one that's used to talk to this node), count how many of the first bits match, and adjust your multiplier accordingly. This would make a useful feature if the CP scheme is going to be re-worked anyway. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
