So what is LimeUDP ?

udp enabled LW's? LW is using a new UDP crawler that more accurately measures netsize.

et voilà

Ya, LW merged the two crawlers. The UDP crawler mostly report LWs because other clients aren't responding to the UDP crawl. I think the total host count is LW UDP crawl (takes 5 minutes) + LW tcp crawl (50 minutes) minus the duplicates IPs/2 and that make the new gnutella total.

That's true. For a number of reasons, it is not possible to crawl a network like Gnutella completely via TCP if your resources are limited, that's why LimeWire implemented an UDP crawler message a while ago. The ability to use UDP pings for crawling hosts has finally been added to the official crawler.

I still don't quite see, how LimeWire is calculating the total number of hosts, though, because:
unique leaves + ultrapeer count > total host count.

Of the LimeUDP hosts 4% are non-LimeWire according to my own crawl. Most of them are BearShare ultrapeers and LimeWire leaves but there are also a good number of GnucDNA hosts among them.
