This seems to me like a bad idea. The whole point of the layering between the DHT layers and everything else is to try to isolate this kind of routing decision in a single location. Spreading it out between the peer protocol and the DHT just confuses things. -Ekr _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
