Hello Bill,

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.
right.
my taxonomy is by no way exhaustive. It is simply what I believe to be
an enhancement compared to the classical structured/unstructured one.
This new taxonomy takes into account in addition to the old one file
delivery.
It takes also into account small file delivery (MMS, etc.) as even in
this case you have to perform peer selection, and perhaps piece
selection if it makes
sense to split the content (perhaps slow terminals with heterogeneous
capacities)
There are probably fundamental characteristics I do not take into
account in the case of small file download, but it is a starting point.
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.
I agree, but as you said P2P is quite rich and it was not my intent to
give a taxonomy that fit all cases.
I restrict myself to the case of P2P file transfer/localization. Then it
is possible to add new branches to this taxonomy.
Given the complexity of P2P, it would not be reasonable to start with a
general purpose taxonomy.
Regards,
Arnaud
