======================= The practice of peer-to-peer computing Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing promises to be the paradigm with mindshare sufficient to push a number of interesting distributed computing technologies from the shadows into the spotlight. To better understand P2P technology, Todd Sundsted begins this series with the first popular P2P applications that came into existence in the early 1980s. He explains where P2P computing fits into the broader distributed computing landscape. Finally, he presents the world's simplest peer and, as a means of foreshadowing what is to come, points out its deficiencies. With this information, you will be able to build your own P2P applications in the Java programming language or adapt specific techniques to your own programming ends. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-p2p/?open&l=279,t=gr,p=jP2P ======================= =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
