[p2p-hackers] Re: Identify "defective" nodes

[Sam Berlin]

I'm looking for exactly these kinds of ideas.

Basically, I'd like to flesh out the range (however dramatic it may
be) of what plug-ins would like to do with LimeWire.  Then we can trim
it down from there as to what's reasonable to do within a plug-in.

Communication over a local-only TCP port is good, although I suspect
the API available would be slightly more limited if that route was
taken.
