[p2p-hackers] p2p framework

[Greg Bildson]

It scales and gives good coverage.  Its goal is to reach as little of the
network as required to produce reasonable results (150 to 250 + altlocs).
If a search can't retrieve this many results with a full TTL (TTL=3,
outdegree=30) broadcast then yes, the query will not exceed some maximum
broadcast.

Reaching the entire network != Scalability.

Scalability == network survival with increasing # of users.

As Serguei mentions, Gnutella has dynamic querying, TTL and flow control to
limit traffic (in about that order).

Thanks
