User forum for the OneSwarm Friend-to-Friend data sharing network
Hi Devs
In the abstract of the technical report available at http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu/f2f_tr.pdf you write:
"data can be shared publicly or anonymously, with friends, with some friends but not others, or only among personal devices"
What is the meaning of "personal devices" in this sentence ?
Thks
Jo
Other computers you own, or network connected devices, via HTTP remote access.
In fact, my first and foremost OneSwarm friends were my "personal devices", several pcs and laptops at home and work.
Devs
Please confirm that at page 4 of F2F_TR:
"UIA" stands for Unmanaged Internet Architecture
"public key infrastuctures" has the same meaning as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure
Thks
Jo
That's right (UIA is unmanaged internet arch, and public key infrastructure has the usual meaning)
Hi isdal and piatek,
In F2F_TR, left bottom of page 6, you write :
The search cancel message is forwarded along the same paths as the corresponding search message but without any forwarding delay, allowing cancel messages to quickly reach the search frontier.
and then :
In addition to the fixed forwarding delay for search cancellation, OneSwarm also delays messages based on the load at each intermediary.
Isn't there an inconsistency here ?

Hi devs
In F2F_TR 5.1 you write :
"To prevent an attacker from systematically crawling the entire set of community server
peers, key registrations are limited per-IP and per-prefix, ...."
What is the meaning of "per-prefix" here ?
Thank
Jo
Hi
Page 8, just before 5.1, what is the meaning of churn in :
"While relationships in OneSwarm are long lived, the end-to-end paths between senders and receivers change rapidly due to churn and transient congestion."
Page 11, what is the meaning of replacement in :
"We measured transfers between 75 pairs chosen randomly without replacement."
(I know the meaning of replacement, but i dont understand in this context")
Thanks you
Churn is nodes joining and leaving the mesh. Without replacement means we never considered the same path twice -- once tried, each path wasn't tried again.
Thank you Piatek
Can you help me also about "per-prefix" (top of page 9, cf previous question) ?
Me again, sorry to ask so many questions....
Top of page 4 :
"Each client’s location in the DHT is independent of its identity and is determined by hashing the client’s current IP address and DHT port."
What is the DHT port ?
Hi Jo,
'per' simply equal 'par' in French.
"key registrations are limited per-IP and per-prefix" => "les enregistrements des clefs sont limités par IP et par prefix"
Edit : the DHT port should be the UDP port used by Oneswarm. Must be confirmed ...
