Snapshot from my node's stats page, with low uptime (a few minutes). Very obvious clustering around 0.2/0.3 and it tails off. IIRC later on it becomes more dispersed. Maybe this tells us something? Theory: We have a small number of long links to the wider network, and we swap with nodes beyond those links infrequently, because there is a low probability of a swap going through that link, but when it does, it gives us access to a wider range of nodes. Hence, the location distribution starts off very specialised, but over time becomes less so.
Another explanation for it becoming less specialised over time would be newbie nodes with random locations. Any way to tell between the two theories? http://amphibian.dyndns.org/freenet/08-06-07-low-uptime-location-distributions.png -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
