[freenet-support] Help needed to explain some definitions.

2004-08-21 Thread Weiliang Zhang
Can someone explain these two terms, please?
1. Current probability of a request succeeding by routing
What does it mean by succeeding by routing? Request succeeded by routing 
to other nodes?

2. Current target (best case single node) probability of a request 
succeeding

Bese case single node??
These are both found in the general node information page. Thank you 
very much in advance.

Regards,
Weiliang

Speaking of which:
I am leaving Freenet running on my router, in the hopes that FProxy will
eventually start responding, and that when it does, it will eventually
run faster.
Would it be worthwhile to also run a transient node on my local machine,
instead of using FProxy on the router?  (There's only one switch between
them, and if I can't trust my own network hardware, what can I trust?)
How certain can I be that it will find the router as a (very close) peer
node?

I think you can run another node on you machine(not the router), give it 
only one ref which is your node on the router in its seednodes.ref file. 
That way you can do all the FCP work on ur local machine (hopefully it's 
safe).

[freenet-support] How to give out node reference?

2004-07-11 Thread Weiliang Zhang
I want to run a few nodes on my local machine and let them communication 
within the circle. The problem is how do I generated seednodes.ref files 
for these nodes? I tried using the 'node' file created by freenet, 
giving it to another node as the seednodes.ref, but that didn't seem to 
be working, maybe it's because of the missing fields for the estimator. 
Any ideas?

As it seems it is used for the "Distribution Pages" (click on the link
"Spread Freenet" in the Web-Interface). This spreads a freenet-zip with
your personal seednodes. So not all people start with the same
seednodes. This should make the net better connected I think.
I have activated the distribution port and the allowHosts is the 
default, i.e. everyone. However, when I clicked "Spread Freenet" I got a 
blank page with only one line that says: "Error". Any ideas?

If the port is firewalled it just means your Distribution pages can't be
accessed once they are created. It has nothing to do with the running of
your node.

There seems to be a maximum, when reached, the bars stop growing. That

Re: [freenet-support] Difference between Connection Attempts andRequests.

What about connections? Requests can be part of it, yes? What else does

Thanks.

An inbound connection attempt is when a node contacts your node.  An
outbound connection attempt is when your node contacts another node.
In both cases, after a successful connection, requests can be made, either
by your node or by the other node.
So for example, an inbound requests implies a connection between your node
and the other node, but doesn't imply which way that connection was set up -
your node could contact another node, and then after successful connection
the other node could make a request to your node:  that would be one
OUTBOUND connection and one INBOUND request.  Similarly, a node could
contact your node, and then make a request:  that would be one INBOUND
connection and one INBOUND request.  Similarly for outbound requests, where
your node initiates a request to a connected node.
One connection persists for as many requests are made to/from the connected
node - so one connection (inbound OR outbound) can have many inbound and
outbound requests.
hope that helps...
Thanks that's very helpful.

Woa, I wish something like this would be available here. The best you

is DSL with 3 Mbit/s down and 384 Kbit/s up without traffic limits. This

cost around 100 euro per month and home servers are not disallowed, but 
also
not liked very much. Of course you will have the normal 24 hour disconnect
also, and this speed is only available if your home is within a Range of ~2
kilometers of the DSLAM. In my home the fastest DSL connection I can get is
1 Mbit/s down and 128 KBit/s up, this still costs around 60 euro per month
with unlimited traffic.

VDSL isn't used here, you can have Modem/ISDN or ADSL for private users. 
The
next bigger thing are leased lines with 2 MBit up and down, but these cost
way more money and you won't get unlimited traffic.

In China nowadays, we usually get a 100MB LAN connection if you apply 
for broadband, although the IP address isn't guaranteed to be fixed, 
it's relatively static, i.e. doesn't change in weeks or months. And all 
these cost for only about 9 euro.
