Re: [P2Prg] CORE subgroup problem statement



Bonjour Arnold,

Your taxonomy seems to be restricted to file sharing or at least the delivery of content. While the latter is general I think you mean reasonably sized files. What about communities, and messaging in general? One can easily do text messaging (SMS or MMS like), play games, and email within a P2P taxonomy for example. 

In particular with a community structure imposed for communication, ie, all communication is intra-community, the yield is a virtual private network if one adds TLS, and public key authentication as a participation in a community requirement. This quickly gets us to SPAM less communication, etc.

P2P is quite rich and the application/services one can map onto the right system diverse.

Just a thought,

Bill

From my point of view, a better taxonomy for P2P is:

*Content Localization

 -Structured

 -Unstructured

 -Centralized

 -Hybrid (?)

*Content delivery

 -Parallel download

 -File splitting  (swarming)

 -Piece selection

 -Peer selection
