Summary: Hammering GWebCaches
Original Submission: I've seen MLDK 2.5-4 and 2.5-16 sending over 1200
hostfile requests a day with an interval of about a minute. This is *far* too
frequent and too much. You must apply a reasonable hardlimit e.g., 10 request
per hour and maybe 50 over a day. Of course not for a *single* GWC but in
total. The usual policy is to contact a single GWC not more than *once* per
hour.
A possible reason is that the ISP blocks the Gnutella protocol but doesn't
block GWC requests since the latter are "normal" HTTP requests. Of course any
other malfunction/bug/problem which causes the impossibility to connect to
other Gnutella peers could cause the same problem i.e., running out of cached
peer addresses.
If a user cannot connect to the Gnutella network, he just can't. Hammering GWCs
for more addresses won't help anyone but actually harm the network.
