Hi,
I wanted to as a question about network speed in general.
How effektive does freenet use the total bandwidth assigned to it ?
(e.g. compared to http over TCP/IP).
TCP/IP has an overhead of about 10% and give http another 10%, leaving
a total bandwidth of approx. 80% for Data connections ([1]).
Next freenet. AFAIK all packets my freenet server sends have to pass a fixed
number of other nodes (chosen random), before reaching their destiny.
AFAIK n is 5 by now. Also freenet has its own overhead, with routing,
searching,... say 20%.
So lets say I have a total bandwidth of 120kB (6 is a divisor) then I have my
bandwith and the bandwidth of 5 other computers I have to route, thus
having a new bandwidth of 20kB that I can assume to be my own. -20% leaves me
about 16kB. 16/120 = 13 1/3 %.
Could somebody please verify my calculation / assumption ?
Is it really that I have to sacrifice more than 85% of my band-width for
being somewhat in a state of privacy ?
[1] This is some assumption. It neglects compression in the http protocoll
and others.
