In practice, people hogged, leeched, and lied about their relays. So I wrote a patch. A tiny fork of the routing protocol. I called it Selfishnet — version 0.1 beta.
Unless you are restoring an old Windows XP LAN party machine for nostalgia, skip it. The code is buggy, the security holes it exploits have been partially patched by modern router firmware (like ARP protection), and the legal risk isn't worth the "fun." selfishnet v0.1 beta
This functionality is particularly useful in environments with limited bandwidth. For example, if one user is performing a heavy download that causes lag for others, SelfishNet can be used to "cap" that user's speed, ensuring a fair distribution of resources. It effectively prevents "bandwidth hogs" from monopolizing the connection. When the Collapse happened, the meshnet was supposed
remains a legendary tool in the world of networking utilities. It’s perfect for the "power user" who needs a quick, effective way to ensure their gaming session isn't ruined by a background Windows update on another laptop. While modern routers now have built-in "Quality of Service" (QoS) settings that do similar things, SelfishNet offers a level of manual, real-time control that is hard to beat.
