Editing Gnutella2 (section)

=== Terminology ===

There is also a difference in terminology: while the more capable nodes, which are used to condense the network, are referred to as ''Ultrapeers'' in gnutella, they are called ''Hubs'' in Gnutella2, and they are also used slightly differently in topology. In gnutella, the Ultrapeers generally maintain as many leaves as peer connections, while Gnutella2 Hubs maintain far more leaves, and fewer peer (Hub-to-Hub) connections. The reason for this is that the search methods of the various networks have different optimum topologies.
