We've been doing alpha testing on our what's looking to be the network v0.2 for the last couple months. A lot of our firmware/etc code has been tightened up and we're starting to get good results. There are obviously a lot of metrics that are worth considering when evaluating the success of a network, but uptime is a good start, and we're finally getting 90%+ uptime on all of our nodes. That might not sound impressive, but these are pieces of hardware that are hosted at various folks houses, so coordinating the reboot of a router that's in someone's living room can be a challenging ordeal. For those that are interested, graphs from our monitoring server are available here: | We've been doing alpha testing on our what's looking to be the network v0.2 for the last couple months.
