As freenet only counts actual data and most ADSL and cable modems limit either IP, ethernet or even the encapsulating PPP, freenet is missing a lot of the protocol overhead. This isn't that bad when your node is up and running, and integrated into the network; however, when a node is fresh it'll usually get a set of rather overloaded seed nodes, causing it to make a lot more connections than in usual operation, which means the protocol overhead is a lot bigger.
However, the fact that the first 3 bytes of each connection aren't sent as seperate packets anymore is a huge improvement over 0.5.0 -- Frank v Waveren Fingerprint: 21A7 C7F3 fvw@[var.cx|stack.nl|chello.nl] ICQ#10074100 1FF3 47FF 545C CB53 Public key: hkp://wwwkeys.pgp.net/fvw at var.cx 7BD9 09C0 3AC1 6DF2 _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
