Hmmm, Gnutella doesn't have URIs AFAIK? > I think that the difference between searching for data reference based on > an idea, and finding actual data based on a reference, are sufficiently > different that they should be in seperate layers. Certainly separate layers, I have no problem with that - but I see little point in making them separate applications. > Either way, I have been > thinking for a while that we should at least experiment about this by > making it a seperate application for Napster/Gnutella type filesharing.

I see no reason to think that simulations are pointless, but I do agree that we need to implement. It is about time I did some coding again, so I plan to get started on this over the next few days. I have an architecture in-mind, which will be suitable for whatever we decide to do with it. Ian. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
