Oskar isn't sure how to do it; he said for example that with fixed locations it will work. Also, routing flux is likely to be far greater on opennet than on darknet. I am not willing to deploy opennet until we have solid simulations of it, and we have dealt with any serious issues, and we are reasonably confident with darknet. > > Ian. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
