Hi,

Some comments on two responses to the WGLC comments I sent earlier:

Comment 1:
----------

"(2) The default time is about every ten minutes. This is not sufficient
in large-scale networks experiencing churn. However, it may be
sufficient in small-scale, low-churn overlays in which reactive recovery
is used. Therefore, I would modify this as follows: If reactive recovery
is used, the default time is about every ten minutes."

"BBL: I have absolutely no idea what type of network would be able to
successfully run this protocol at all that would be overloaded by one
update every 10 minutes.  Worry about STUN keepalive traffic first."

The point I was trying to make wasn't that a
"chord-reload-update-interval" of 10 minutes can overload the network.
Of course it can't. The comment was simply that when only periodic
recovery is used, it is more difficult to recommend a default interval.
This is because the appropriate stabilization interval depends entirely
on the current churn rate in the network. Therefore, I was simply
proposing to modify the text so that a 10-minute default interval is
only recommended for reactive stabilization (in many cases, periodic
stabilization is likely to require more frequent updates). To set the
stabilization interval for periodic recovery, one could use the
mechanisms specified in draft-ietf-p2psip-self-tuning-01.

Comment 2:
----------

"Page 104-105, Section 9.6.4.2. Refreshing finger table
(1) A peer SHOULD NOT send Ping requests looking for new finger table
entries more often than the configuration element
chord-reload-ping-interval, which defaults to 3600 seconds (one per
hour).
This is not sufficient in large-scale networks experiencing churn.
However, it may be sufficient in small-scale, low-churn overlays in
which reactive recovery is used. Therefore, I would modify this as follows:
A peer SHOULD NOT send Ping requests looking for new finger table
entries more often than the configuration element
chord-reload-ping-interval. If reactive recovery is used, this
defaults to 3600 seconds (one per hour)."

"BBL: I'm sorry, but if one ping an hour can take down a network, the
network is already down.  This is silly, and it's already
configurable."

Again, the comment wasn't that one ping in an hour can take down the
network. Of course it can't. I was simply trying to say that perhaps an
one-hour default interval should only be recommended for reactive
stabilization. Periodic stabilization is likely to require more frequent
Pings.

Cheers,
Jouni
