Just noticed that I completely lost connection to opennet in all of my nodes. At the same time transfer rates dropped + the network stopped finding stuff as fast as previously. Definitely a negative change. My nodes got completely cut off from opennet, so they are no longer able to work as bridges between the networks.
IMO it would make sense to have a limit of e.g. 30 connections for both networks. Still better, the amount of connections could depend on the output bandwith limit / load statistics of the node, so that nodes with plenty of resources would have enough connections to realize their potential. Perhaps this would make the network slightly heterogenous, but there would still be enough high-performance nodes around to avoid single points of failure. Alternatively, an option to categorize nodes to high-performance nodes and standard nodes, and leaving room for connections from (other) high-performance nodes could help to boost the performance of the network by creating a base grid of fast nodes for transferring large amounts of data. The high-perf nodes could handle much more load than nodes on the average, so popular content would be wise to distribute through these nodes. If, for some reason, all these nodes would be taken out, there would still be the slower (but operational) network. -- Malkus Lindroos Matthew Toseland wrote: > Maybe. What would the benefit be?
