Estimate about how many lines of code it is now or how many K? Hoping its still the size of DOS 1.0
No clue sorry and its not always a good indication. Bugs destroy that
As in fixing a bug can balloon things?
Care to weigh in again?
This was a really great post, vaguely remember seeing it but nice to read again. Nice necro!
I wonder what the results would look like with adding āserver centers of populationā ā¦ server instances could be hosts and centers would look more or less like additional cities. I guess unless the server centers were a high proportion of the network, the chance of a ārack to rackā hop would be quite smallā¦ the results for very large networks would probably be similar, but I bet that the initial distribution will be quite server heavy and the early network will have lower latencies as a result.
Server-āserver in a different centerā hops will also be close to the ādirect connectionā model, so I would imagine the more accurate result will be a lower latency early network, x1.45 on everything, and as the network grows, a constant /hop malus will phase in (router latency) and some multiplier for the increasing probability of non straight line connections. Still though, these results are quite hopeful, it is better than I would have guessed. A good caching implementation will be key to make the network snappy, and nobody will mind waiting a few seconds to connect to their backed up photos.
How does the number of hops affect data transfer (e.g. large files?) is there some optimization of the routing post-contact? Or is a large number of high latency torrent sources a better mental model?
