Any broadcast is dangerously expensive. Even if they are only necessary when a new node joins the network, the cost could be significant. What amount of broadcast-related bandwidth used at each node do you consider to be acceptable? _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
