| Summary | 0001964: FEATURE REQUEST: Hostlist Server Gossip Protocol | ||||
| Description | I was thinking about the simplistic Hostlist Servers being used to bootstrap into the network, and how to improve this system. I suppose that an interserver protocol (perhaps a simple web api?) to "gossip" ip:port pairs "hosts" to each other, according to server configuration. perhaps hostlist servers can subscribe to each other via rss, something really simple? Just a thought. | ||||

On one hand - it's reasonable. On the other hand - every hostlist server (AFAIU) is also a GNUnet node, which means that it can collect peer information from other hostlist servers in a usual manner. |

@LRN Well, i didnt know that. if every hostlist server is also a gnunet node, then it can pull theoretically any hostlist, but needs to be manually configured to pull ip:port pairs from new hostlist servers. I was thinking of a gossip protocol to discover new hostlist servers automatically. Before you ask, I have not really thought about the security/privacy ramifications of this, because i do not understand how that works. |

Eh, you mean you want to use the --enable-learning and the --advertise options? (--advertise causes your peer to gossip about its hostlist URL, --enable-learning causes your peer to listen to the gossip from other peers). Those are, btw, implemented and can be configured using gnunet-setup. Already in like 0.9.0pre3... |
