[Dxspider-support] Neighbor node connection

[JOSEPH REED]

Yes, that is normal.  I have had “stations” do that to me.  They can connect, but they open the connection as a node and you accept the connection as a user.  Take a look at the round trip times (RTT) in the console, I’ll bet it is a very large number as no traffic is passing.  Then they time out are disconnected, and bless their souls they reconnect and it is played out again.

Of course you can disconnect them and send them to bad nodes.  I find it far more amusing to see how long it takes them to see it isn’t working and give up.  Takes almost no bandwidth since no traffic is passing and the entertainment value is priceless.

And yes, the only way for anyone to connect and authenticate as a node you need to authorize it by defining the call as a node.
