Man, that's an ugly index.php blah Ask the ben-wpan people. the Web era internet is extremely fragile by design. You aren't going to get a Disruption-Tolerant Network that will work transparently with your software that was designed to work only on networks that have instantaneous high-data-rate end-to-end paths.
The ability to transport, or route, data from a source to a destination is a fundamental ability all communication networks must have. Delay and disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), are characterized by their lack of connectivity, resulting in a lack of instantaneous end-to-end paths. In these challenging environments, popular ad hoc routing protocols such as AODV and DSR fail to establish routes. This is due to these protocols trying to first establish a complete route and then, after the route has been established, forward the actual data. However, when instantaneous end-to-end paths are difficult or impossible to establish, routing protocols must take to a "store and forward" approach, where data is incrementally moved and stored throughout the network in hopes that it will eventually reach its destination. A common technique used to maximize the probability of a message being successfully transferred is to replicate many copies of the message in the hope that one will succeed in reaching its destination. This is feasible only on networks with large amounts of local storage and internode bandwidth relative to the expected traffic. In many common problem spaces, this inefficiency is outweighed by the increased efficiency and shortened delivery times made possible by taking maximum advantage of available unscheduled forwarding opportunities. In others, where available storage and internode throughput opportunities are more tightly constrained, a more discriminate algorithm is required. Wolfgang Spraul has repeated said that qi doesn't want to become known for hosting controversial projects. "Nobody likes to have their freedom of speech restricted, or what they can hack into their devices. I would not want the Qi servers to become known to try to blur the line between free and proprietary software, irrespective of the intentions. Fair use? No. Non-commercial? No. Links to sites where you can download binaries with questionable or disputed ownership issues? No. Would I spend my own time to make it 'hard' to go underground, or to go to the maximum that is allowed in your country? No, definitely not."
