[mnet-devel] notes from IRC chatter

[Zooko]

<zooko> Arno: I think you have a good observation.
<zooko> I can think of a way that choose_best_strat
<zooko> egy() can mess up.
<zooko> 1.  My node has an open TCP connection to yours, then
<zooko> 2.  Your node changes IP addresses, and
<zooko> 3.  I hear about your new IP address somehow (such as by receiving a
        "hello" message from you), and
<zooko> then I call choose_best_strategy(), and the chooser chooses to keep
        the old strategy (the open TCP connection) instead of the new one (the
        new IP address).
<zooko> I would like to do an experiment and read some verbose logs to see if
        this mistake (a) is happening and (b) is the cause of the Bermuda
        Triangle.
<zooko> But I won't have time for at least a couple of weeks.  :-/


By the way, I changed the CommStrat.py file (which contains 
choose_best_strategy()) several times recently.  Try 
"cvs annotate common/CommStrat.py" for descriptions of the changes.
