-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just wondering if it would be possible to add a streaming key insert mode to freenet. An insert in this mode would *not* be cached by any node, but would just be forwarded to the rest of the nodes involved in the stream. The propagation of a stream would be based upon the number of people who have requested a stream. A stream insert at htl 4 would work like this:
My node -> node1 -> node2 -> node3 If someone requested the stream, a request would be sent to find a node that is a part of the stream. This would work like this: My node 2 -> node4 -> node5 -> node1 Lets say it's found node1. node1 would forward the stream to node5, which would forward the stream to node4, which would forward the stream to me. Streaming inserts would use SSK style subspaces, so you wouldn't get the same problems as with KSKs. With these streaming keys it would be trivial to create a distrubuted IRC style application, and it would have the benefit of the strong security of freenet. It would also allow easy operation of webcams on freenet. Would this trivial or non trivial to implement in fred? It would require a few additions to FCP as well.
