But if there is a new node being added every 3 minutes (after being up for 24 consecutive hours), then it is unlikely that the network is small. > Theo noted a > while ago that small world networks allow for pretty good search > performance without any ordering at all - I think that is the only > positive effect you are seeing at the moment. If I recall correctly, Theo did do a comparison between random routing in a small world network, and Freenet-style directed routing, and noticed an order-of-magnitude decrease in the number of hops required for the latter. Now it is possible that this is not working in the current network, which would beg the question - why not? Ian. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
