Prevent nodes from exploiting probing

Open nomel7 opened this issue 11 years ago • 0 comments

Currently in TopologyMaintenanceSessionImpl if a node receives a probe from another node it will avoid initiating a probing chain itself to avoid flooding the network. This is implemented in probeForLocation(). A malicious could exploit this behavior by constantly probing the same node so it never initiates probing itself.
