Packet efficiency
 

How can I raise the efficiency of my client? What is it based on?
When I connect my client to Morpheus (on the same machine), efficiency looks good. Ping 100%, Pong 98.33%. Since I'm not yet connected to other clients, and not yet sending queryhits myself (not implemented yet, but I route incoming correctly), the others are at 0%.

When I connect my client to some other client on the internet, and start forwarding there packages to Morpheus, my ping efficiency drops to say 30%, pong stays where it was (high in the 90's). Query is really bad (15%), queryhit is 100% (as I said, I'm routing them correct).

How can I get up the Query and ping percentages? Are there specific algorytms for querys and pings?


Also, 1 other question. Althoug my pong efficiency looks good, I came across a term called pong-caching. What is meant by this? The only thing I *cache* are IPs and GUIDs. Must I keep other data as well, and what can I do with it?

Thanks

How exactly do you measure your efficiency? So I can figure how to answer :)

I think he is saying the efficiency that is being displayed in morpheus. According to the gnucleus source it is: Good PACKET / Total PACKET where PACKET is the type of packet.

So this would meaan that either there's an error in my forwarding procedure, or I'm receiving bad packages.

An error most likely.

I use Gnucleus to test my client. When I send a ping or two my rating jumps to 100%.
