Hi Dan,

Comments are welcome.

Please add Gnutella, BitTorrent, and Skype to section 2.  I
noticed BitTorrent isn't mentioned in the document at all.

I have added BitTorrent to Section 2. However, I would not like to have too many examples in that section. Since Skype and Gnutella were already mentioned somewhere else in the document, I have not added new subsections with them in Section 2.

You might also mention Octoshape's don't-look-under-the-covers P2P video
streaming application,

estions.ars


I have added references to Octoshape.


end of Section 5.3,
     traditional SIP, which relays on a rendezvous server infrastructure.
                            ^^^^^^
                            relies

Fixed.

Section 6,
   we have discussed a number of
   perfectly legitimate applications that have been implemented using
   P2P.

I would drop "perfectly" from that sentence.  (Same phrase is in Section 1).
(Are there imperfectly legitimate applications?)

I would like to stress the fact that there are *fully* legitimate. If you have a suggestion to give more emphasis to the sentence without using "perfectly", let me know.

To your list of legitimate uses of p2p technology in Section 6, you might also
consider adding the "unofficial release" by Nine Inch Nails of 400Gb of
time-synchronized multiple-camera HD video footage from three concerts using
BitTorrent, http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?52,378166.  The trackers are on
nin.com's own website.

Since this is yet another example of content distribution using bittorrent, I do not think we need to add it to the document... but thanks for the reference anyway. It is interesting!

Thanks for your comments,

Gonzalo
