I've been using freenet for a while now (mostly because I didn't know about
freenet) and I'm pretty excited about trying out gnunet.
There are some things about freenet that I find very interesting, and I'd like
to know if they are, or will be implemented in gnunet:
FEC encoding of splitfiles. When you upload something to freenet, it creates
extra blocks, that can be used to "heal" files on the network.
Intelligent routing. Supposedly as your node "learns" about the freenet
network, it learns where to search for certain types of data. This kind of
routing (I think) is supposed to give a little direction to your queries, so
it doesn't blindly wander across the entire network (like gnutella). I guess
this reduces network load. I don't understand "bloom filters" but it sounds
like it may be used to achieve the same goal. I suppose that the intelligent
routing would make it hard to find files that are indexed on the hard drive
rather than uploaded to the network.
Thanks for your time.
