Re-envision the hublist pinger
Posted: 18 Dec 2010, 11:56
Hey people
Had an ideas on hublist pingers that ive talked to both catalin and netcelli about along time ago but i haven't seen any progress of it instead of making the traditional pinger that user sends to x, pinger checks if hub x is alive then reports back to the hublist as value x, instead i wanna propose a crawler that start outs on hub x finds hubs (y) checks and adds em themselves either by checking motd, user descriptions possible if it can retrieve a network list by ucmd or dfav then add it if being reported as public this would increase hubs on public hublists.
Problems could be cloned hubs but thats more of a programming problem since it check check if hubs match in size and user numbers and description.
Other p2p apps that uses this kinda technology is Gnutella with their crawler
