True, but the data can be relatively large (32 kbytes) so they also constitute the majority of traffic. It's important not to let them time out, but they need to be interleaved with other traffic. > I know this is very basic, but bear with me: Do hits follow the inverse path > than their respective queries, or is there something else going on? They follow the reverse path. (I'm not sure whether this has been implemented yet, but there was also a proposal to trigger reinsertions of the data at random points along the path, in which case the data could spread off the path.)
