Hmmm. Well generally we don't act on a packet immediately ... on the other hand, the 100ms maximum queue time isn't necessarily a problem. So instead of the time taken for an ack to come back for a packet, we could measure the time taken for us to send an ack for it. Interesting idea, will implement the measurement. > > David -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
