Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Question Question regarding UDP

Please pardon my ignorance. I'm sure this question have been answered before (I tried search but was flooded with posts about UDP). Why doesn't the Gnutella network use the UDP protocol for searching and other small data transfers? How come other private networks like Blubster and File Spree can use UDP for searching with great success?

Thanks.

Default UDP

Some firewalls, including the ones where I work, don't allow some or all UDP out, so you would be preventing many people from being able to use the network.

But this problem can be circumvented by a TCP "proxy-out" mechanism. Here's how Blubster's author deals with it:

Quote:
How are we going to enable everybody to connect with Blubster if they can’t use UDP? The answer is “Guide Nodes”. Guide nodes will be normal Blubster peers that will be acting like a guide for non-UDP-enabled peers.

The idea is that, when a peer (peer-A) that can’t use UDP tries to connect, it will “ask” for a UDP-enabled peer (peer-B) to be his/her gateway to the network. A normal TCP/IP connection is now between the two peers. The peer-A will see through peer-B. When peer-A needs to search for something, it passes the search to peer-B, who will process it, resending it -using the normal UDP transmissions- to the network. Peer-B will then receive the results and will forward them to peer-A. This is similar to the router port forwarding, but we will do it in a different layer.

The pros for this method are that everybody will be able to connect with Blubster. If you can navigate the web then you can connect to a Guide Node. The cons are the TCP/IP connection needed. TCP/IP transmissions are reliable, which means that guided peers will not be anonymous. Guide Nodes will sacrifice about 20% of performance receiving, processing and sending data to the guided peer.
The performance hit for those who use this method shouldn't be that bad, IMHO.

UDP is a connectionless protocol. If you use it, you have no idea if the person you are sending to is still there anymore. For instance, you may send a search request to a person, but if he signs off right now, you still keep sending him data. Wasting your time and bandwidth. TCP is a more "expensive" protocol but is alot better for the needs of the network.

So how does Blubster utilize UDP successfully? Is it more efficient with the search packets so that there is very little wastage? If you look at the statistics in the Blubster client, you will see that there are very few bad packets. Is it the case that Gnutella must optimize the searching and handshake methods before it can utilize UDP?

The problem is the broadcast UDP address. In most cases it is disabled. In addition to the other mentioned issues, this will make UDP usability very limited. It's been discussed before, many times...
