I'm curious, though, as to what the node currently does. (To bring us back to the original question of this thread.) (Yes, I should just look at the code myself.) Surely it does something like I just described above? And surely that's a simple thing? (When you refer to testing, you're probably referring to fine-tunning the above parameters to maximize efficiency ... which is all good ... except even without such testing, I don't see why it should take many minutes for flow to stabilize -- unless our grace-period for overflowing nodes is many minutes long?) _______________________________________________ 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
