Quote: every 30 Minutes or so an ultrapeer sends a message with IP-Adresses of a number of other ultrapeers via all incoming connections. The list of IP-Adresses, to be sent by an ultrapeer should include:
a) all ultrapeers it has outgoing connections to
b) those ultrapeers whose adresses it has received most often during let's say the last 5 hours.
In case a servant wants to connect to a new host it tries the top ranked ultrapeers from b). If the connection fails that specific host is removed from that ranking. | John: he just described hostcaching......
Encryption would only be useful for documents just as something you dont want other people to see except the people that should. But other than that it really doesnt have a purpose, in other words it not the highest priority. |
