Gnutella protocol and hostcaches Hi, i've got a question about the "hostcaches". It's said Gnutella is real peer tp peer and users don't have to log in to central server. But what's about the hostcaches ? aren't they central server ? - or what about the hosts "connect1.gnutellanet.com:6346" and so on ? Hope someone can answer these questions. Thanks in advance, daniel |

Re: Gnutella protocol and hostcaches Quote:
But since sending out an IP like that is usually impractical for most users (think of newer Internet users), they have host caches to help them out. -- Mike |

If your client has a local hostlist of clients IP addresses he received messages from (AFAIK all common clients have one) you usually need the hostcache only the first time you connect to the network. When the hostlist is saved and you restart the client you are able to join the network by trying to connect to clients in your hostlist ... that always works fine ... |
