A quick progress update: Congestion control is done but not documented.
Load limiting is nearly done: the simulator now includes a simplified version of the current backoff mechanism and an incomplete version of the new token-passing mechanism. Both can be disabled easily, so I should be able to make some preliminary comparisons between the two mechanisms (and the third possibility, no flow control) in the next few days. To do (short term): * A queue for locally generated searches * Request throttling for the current backoff mechanism - locally generated searches should be released from the queue at a rate that depends on the number of RejectedOverloads they cause * Fullest-bucket, emptiest-bucket and random-bucket policies for the new token-passing mechanism * Debug both mechanisms in small-scale simulations * Badly-behaved nodes that don't throttle their searches * Wiki page describing congestion control To do (long term): * Heterogeneous nodes * Swapping * Churn * Other social network models Cheers, Michael
