Thanks, Uri, but it is still not 100% clear. NPS is just one number and not two.
So what is the first number (3735698)? Total number of nodes seen? And the
second one (54286 or 54.286?) ? Nodes seen in one second? And was the search
done by brute force or by selective? This last question is not that important
but still interesting for me to know.

If you can guess what must be the response, I thank you in advance.

Leonid.
