Interesting idea - at the moment I'm trying to model the behaviour of the current network in order to evaluate token passing, but once that's finished I wouldn't mind taking a look at this - although as Toad pointed out the queue lengths should be controlled by token passing anyway. The queueing logic would have to be a bit more complicated if we were going to drop messages under heavy load, because it would make sense to give priority to messages that belong to existing searches/transfers rather than starting new searches/transfers and allowing the existing ones to fail... still it's something to think about.
