The amount of external traffic which is routed to your node(s) will be limited by the number of external connections you have, and their capacity. You can grab more keyspace maybe, but if you have few external connections you will not have much impact. > > I can create any link distribution I like between the imaginary nodes - > I'm guessing that by choosing the Kleinberg distribution, the swapping > algorithm will cause the nodes to spread out in a chain rather than > clumping together, so my two real nodes will move further and further > apart.
