I'm trying to run some tests on a fake freenet network. Basically, I've set up a bunch of nodes that start out with random locations (normal startup). Then I let them crank away and test how long it takes for each node to search for each other node. The nodes are connected in small world fashion (2d grid plus random long connections). I've used network sizes from 5 to 80. The problem is that they seem to keep swapping locations with each other forever, without ever settling down to a stable topography. Is this by design? Do nodes always switch with each other, even if they have already swapped? Am I using too few nodes to see any results? I figured it should work on a net of any size, so I'm confused.
