Umm.  Tell me to go stick my head in a bucket if I'm wrong but if you pick 1 in 25 as the figure, then a request still stands a 1% chance of making over 112 hops without being DNF. ((24/25)^112~=0.010).

Wouldn't that significantly increase the overall traffic on the network?

issue in Virtual PD (was Re: Adapating Freenet to NGRouting).
