So it really is a BearShare network, Gnutella is now dead.
"it will be the responsibility of other vendors to crawl our BearShare network and mix in the IP
addresses of our Ultrapeers, if they wish to remain connected to the BearShare network."

I don't know about you but I won't be "crawling" the bearshare network, Vinnie will be crawling back after his bankruptcy since gnutella cut him off.

BearShare will never drop a connection once it has handshaked and
been accepted. So if a non BearShare host makes it in to a BearShare
host it will stay as long as it wants to, assuming the BearShare host
does not exit the application.

Our improved host cache will visit other host caches (this includes
the Morpheus host caches, currently running BearShare in anchor
mode), storing the IP addresses in a "seed list".

When a BearShare host visits our host cache, we will deliver 30 pongs:

- 18 pongs randomly chosen from the top 50% of hosts measured by
uptime

- 9 pongs randomly chosen from the bottom 50% of hosts measured by
uptime

- 3 pongs randomly selected from the "seed list"

These numbers may be tweaked in the future for optimium network
structure.

When we eliminate our host cache, it will be the responsibility of
other vendors to crawl our BearShare network and mix in the IP
addresses of our Ultrapeers, if they wish to remain connected to the
BearShare network.

Alternatively, we can publish the IP addresses of the top BearShare
hosts measured by uptimes on a web page. Other vendors can include
this list with their installer so their servent can bootstrap from
it, or they can harvest this list periodically and merge the
addresses into their host cache.

Therefore, we have solutions for keeping the network together today,
tomorrow, and beyond (when host caches disappear).
