Just for your information. I ran across this paper on implementing Reed Soloman Algorithm for Parity Volumes. This is the way that most split file error correction is done in large usenet postings. RAR something and then generate a series of PAR files. If it is similar or the same as what Freenet uses for FEC then the paper might prove a valuable resource for people working to create an efficient implementation. If it an alternate method, it might be useful to make Freenet FEC extensible enough to incorporate this in the future if automated tools come out making inserting these things into usenet easy (and perhaps a future usenet/freenet gateway that you can connect to with your favourite newsreader).
Here is the link: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~plank/plank/papers/CS-96-332.html and the spec for PAR files: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=7273&group_id=30568 _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
