ok. since we have several better ideas than mine already suggested i
think it is premature to describe any one idea. i will try to summeraise
what i belive to have understood from the suggestions:
1 any simple topology would make it worth ''cheating'' by having several
channels setup directly between the processes that should exchange messages.
2 if we insist upon testing that all connections in a complex topology
actually work we will end up without a nice linear ''correlation''
between the number of processes and the number of messages. (i still
think that we need to have a variable number of processes to avoid that
the creation of processes takes up all the test time for a small number
of messages)
it seems to me that it would be simpler to mandate one channel per
process, than to devise a test that makes this the best solution.
could someone show me wrong, please.
