Limewire Pro 2.4.4 TTL settings?

RE Limewire Pro V2.4.4

Hi all,

In the limewire.props file there are three different TTL settings.

They are:

TTL=
SOFT_MAX_TTL=
MAX_TTL=

I understand what TTL is. Does anyone know exactly what these three different settings accomplish?

Thanks!

Ken

TTL is the time to live for your own queries.

SOFT_MAX_TTL is practically the maximum value for hops + ttl of any message that is passed through your client. If hops+ttl > SOFT_MAX_TTL the ttl will be reduced.

setting MAX_TTL (unless you set it lower than soft_max_ttl) doesn't have any effect anymore in the network as it is now. It was used to set the maximum value for hops+ttl, until the message would be dropped without normalizing the ttl.
