So one silly programmer assumes that he has total control over "his" network and thinks that since he made his client now use TTL 1 that all the clients will be updated in a day or something.
too bad jr. programmers don't think before they make these stupid decisions
I would think a more mature programmer would know that something like this would be bad for the whole network, unless you were thinking you owned the whole network and it was all yours cause you were the dictator personality
I say if a client sends even one non standard packet, then instantly block that IP for 24 hrs. Then within a day or two everyone would dump the crap and go get something not in the greed factor. Hows that for a control packet? That should control the dictator types!
"I have to be one up on the competition" WHY??? COULD IT BE GREED?
The other thing would be to make a simple program that blasts out zillions of copies of this packet with ttl 7 to every client so that gnutella stops and everyone blames the stupid packets and the lame author.
