@MorlockP listening to the mars talk 0203... "you connect to 150 people max, so you only need to support that"... What if you're a noob who goes viral and needs to connect with 150k or 1.5m people but only has your consumer grade infra? Does urbit handle this gracefully somehow?

Depending on the exact nature of viral event, slapping some content-addressable caching for static assets could at least offload some of the load from the ship. Maybe it could be added seamlessly, and stars would run some LRU like that for their planets and so on.

The rest is just traffic control. Overloaded ship should just gracefully handle initial "DDOS" even if that means temporary lack of connectivity, and requester be gentle with retries, and eventually people will just loose interest, or load will be slowly processed.

Assume they do and it may one day transform into a revenue stream.
