Configuration (P-Grid)

P-Grid preferences
Bootstrap host(s)
P-Grid bootstrap hosts are required for new hosts to join the P-Grid network the first time. A list of bootstrap hosts can be given represented by their IP-address or their name and the listening port. The hosts should be separated by ";".
Default: www.p-grid.org:1805
Max. fidgets
The maximum amount of fidget references stored in the local routing table used to initiate exchanges.
Default: 10
Max. references per level
The maximum amount of references stored for every level of the local routing table to route queries.
Default: 10
Max. exchange recursions
The maximum amount of recursive initiated exchanges during an exchange.
Default: 3
Additional random searches per search
The amount of random searches initiated for every search created by the local user to improve search results. Less random searches lead to lower network bandwidth consumption and possible smaller result sets, whereas a greater amount of random searches lead to a higher bandwidth consumption and possible greater result sets.
Default: 2
Exchange rate
The minimum period before initiating an exchange with a peer. The exchange rate can vary depending on the current amount of managed data items, the length of the local path, and when the local peer is bootstrapping. The period should be given in milliseconds.
Default: 60000
Balancing replication load
Load-balancing is guaranteed by P-Grid during network construction for static content. If the amount of peers and data is changing during P-Grid's operation time, balancing replication load is necessary to analyze the current load distribution. If not it can be disabled to reduce bandwidth consumption of P-Grid.
Default: true
