Correct. Freenet will route through that node (any request that is not found in the "local darknet", and vice versa, "outside" opennet searches will hopefully penetrate into that dark corner.) That is it's main mission -- to retrieve keys. > I may have the wrong impression but isn't the idea of small worlds a > concept where one of the small worlds may not want to relate to the > rest of the (opennet) world? Incorrect. The "small world" concept is only an assumption of the topology of a darknet which should in theory result in better routing than a "drunk man's walk". (Since it is assumed that more closely related peers will also tend to have similar interests.) However, it is up to you to actually structure it this way. You are perfectly free to screw that assumption up by blindly adding strangers as your darknet peers. (Opennet, at least, is able to "evolve" over time to a more small-world topology -- not so with "static" darknets.) _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
