And that's what he's referring to is the gnutella search traffic.  However 
gnutella doesn't' cache/rememebr anything, and clients broadcast searches 
multiple times over the life of the search.  Searches also produce and 
route rather arbitrarily long responses that are lists of files.  Far more 
data than DUNDi would likely typically respond with.
