[ANet-devel] Thoughts on optimization

[<Ant...@ao...>]

    Okay, let's look at what we're up against as far as network optimization. 
 Some real quick thoughts here about what we have to avoid...

Searches - 
Overly expansive searches without a mechanism to handle them.  Ex.  *.mp3
Searches that take to long to play out.  Ex.  Searching for to many hops, 
would   create extra of pressure on the nodes that are in direct contact with 
the reciever.

Services - 
Bandwidth hungry services.  Ex.  Streaming content that is not properly 
shared.
Abusive use of services.  Ex.  File Leeching from a single source.  
Inappropiate service.  Ex.  Running too much on too little.
    
    There's more, but these are some quick ones I thought I'd throw out for 
discussion.  Let's look for "great" solutions while we're still planning.  My 
next post will probably be some of my own ideas about how to conquer these 
beasts, but for now I most be off.
