| DarkBlueShadow 2003-04-19 16:11:51 | Hi, I have started Netmap for Windows and it's rarely using system ressources (e.g CPU-time: 0:00:00, 1MB Memory, very few ip packets over internet connection). This would be no problem at all if Netmap would find nodes much faster but it doesn't. In 5 hours it only found 340 nodes. How can I speed up this search. Or does the program itself limit the amount of used bandwidth, CPU-time...? Thanks for you reply |

One reason for slight slowness is that although I think it sends and receives the ping packets of different lengths out in parallel, it does DNS lookups on any new hosts found in serial. Still I'd expect it to go a bit faster than you're describing. You can actually run many instances of netmap.exe to get it to go faster - or at least, I _think_ you can. I certainly wrote a multithreaded driver for it at one stage, but it caused an alert at Oxford's computer security centre because there were too many ping packets! The multithreaded one got >50000 hosts in a few days. Today's weather in %region is Sunny/(null), max. temperature -99999°C |
