A map of the new "clustering" network plan for Gnutella:

O = "outsider" (anyone using a non commercial client, Gnucleus, XoloX, etc..)
B = BearShare (aka BlackHole)
L = LimeWire

Code:
                O  O  O  O  O
            O O  \ |  |  | /  O O
           O \ \ BBBBBBBBBBB / / O   O  <- (ready to be sucked in)
          O \ \BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB/ /   /
         O \ BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB   O  O
        O \ BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB /  /
         \ BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB -
  O - O - BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB - RIAA/MPAA (listening post attached to home page)
          BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
         / BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB \
        O   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB   O - O  <- (another victim is ready)
           / BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB \   \
          O  / BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB \  O  |
            O /  BBBBBBBBBBB  \ O    |     "Vinnie$$Net"
             O    / | | |  \   O     |
                 O  O O O   O        |
                      |              |
                O     O     O        |
                 \    |    /         |
           O     LLLLLLLLLLL     O   O  <- (soon to be sucked into BS)
            \  LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL  /   /
         O   LLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL   O
          \ LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL /
           LLLLLLLLLLOLLLLOLLLLLLL
  O - O - LLLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL - O
          LLLLLLLLLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLL
         / LLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL \
        O   LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLLLLL   O
           / LLLLLLLLOLLLLLLLLLL \
          O    LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL    O
              /  LLLLLLLLLLL  \            "LimeWireNet"
             O        |        O
                      O         \
                      |         |
          O - O - O - O         |
         /     \       \        |
        O       O       O - O - O
        |      /       / \  |    \
    O - O     O       O   O O - O O
    |    \    |      /    |      \          "GnutellaNet"
    O     O   O     O     O       O
     \    |  /       \     \      |
So how do you like being the OUTSIDER ?

Think about what it takes for one outsider to reach another
outsider across the "BlackHole" !
Does this serve Vinnie $$$ or Gnutella?
