17:36 <spacekookie> noracodes: I would be very interested in seeing how you could apply a pubkey based web-of-trust on Ratman

17:37 <spacekookie> Did you have a look at the async branch and some of the structure changes in the routing core? I think the modularity makes it easier to understand now, but it's still largely missing

18:28 <noracodes> I'm reading through it on and off

18:28 <noracodes> Today is a bit hectic because I'm just starting the semester

18:33 <spacekookie> Yea cool, just ping me if you have questions about anything

18:35 <noracodes> Thanks!

18:40 <noracodes> Something we talked about in the meeting that I'm not sure I understand: how does the router resolve situations where the same peer is accessible over multiple netmods?

18:43 <spacekookie> At the moment it doesn't, but basicaly we need to keep quality mentrics for announcement frames that get sent

18:44 <spacekookie> So, basically we keep a journal of announcements, and if they were delivered twice. Then we can very passively use that as a metric to switch to a connection that's consistently faster

18:44 <spacekookie> On the other hand we could do more active tracking for TTLs

21:32 <noracodes> That makes sense! I think active analysis using probe packets and TTLs is a good goal but likely not critical at the moment
