search monitoring
 

when i use search monitor within an second i saw at least 8 search commands comming from one ip adres and one port ,is this normal behaviour , or how is it possible to search with that speed, or is this an way of spamming the gnutella net .

well should be an normal explanation, but i dont get it yet .

my guess is some sort of spam...or attempt at clogging up the network with superfilous activity

It's the search request flowing into your nodes from the rest of the network.

So it's quite normal that there are very many requests: If you're a leaf these are all requests which could score a hit on one of your files, and if you're an ultrapeer these are the search results initiated by nearby nodes as well as all requests which could store a hit in your files or the files of any of your leafs.

Details: GnuFU en - Gnufu
-> section "Network model: Intra-ultrapeer QRP"

For search request you don't see the real origin of the search. You only see the IP of the node that forwards the search to you. Not the IP of the node initiating the search.
Therefore an Ultrapeer could forwards searches from hundreds of connected nodes to you.

oke thanks for the answer , learned something again ,
