There was a discussion about culling "obviously" bad addresses like tcp/192.168.123.119 awhile back but there wasn't any consensus on what is "obviously bad". void/void shouldn't be showing up in the routing table. If it is then there's a bug. I suspect that most of the void/voids that show up in the outbound contacts are the result of trying to send a direct message back to a transient node after its connection handler has been closed, but I haven't tracked down where and why this is happening in the code. --gj -- Freesites (0.3) freenet:MSK at SSK@enI8YFo3gj8UVh-Au0HpKMftf6QQAgE/homepage// (0.4) freenet:SSK at npfV5XQijFkF6sXZvuO0o~kG4wEPAgM/homepage// _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
