[freehaven-dev] Small Worlds

[Michael J Freedman <mfreed@MIT.EDU>]

I moved my communications implementation section from comm.tex
to fh-impl-comm.tex.  It should be basically finished, at least
from the point of the communications module (not the channel).

I'm finishing up the "future work" section on communications channels
quite soon.  I'm mail on the .tex for suggestions and whatnot - these
are some ideas that we've come up with.

I know I've mentioned the "Small Worlds" model in relation to some
routing heuristics - i.e., Gnutella-ish.  Here are a bunch of sites that
describe the Small Worlds model in mathematics.

    student at Cornell and this is one of her research projects...)
