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... d _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
