Re: [Sks-devel] Unusual traffic for key 0x69D2EAD9 and 0xB33B4659

[Rolf Wuerdemann]

Hi,

Don't get me wrong, but within three days I've got 450G traffic
which can be assigned to sks by 99.9%. Estimated to 30 days this
means 4.5T (which is in good agreement of your 2+T/Key for these
two poison keys).

With this amount of traffic and the possibility to get
more of this keys (thus more traffic) every moment, I think it's
only a question of time until the network with the current
implementation will vanish. Traffic increased roughly a factor of
300 (15G->4.5T) within twelve months, nodes within the network
decreased by a factor of two at least for the same time.

So: where to go and how?

Just my 2ct,

   rowue
