Looks like the IETF P2PSIP working group is having some kind of
protocol deathmatch. Some of these are just DHTs, while others are
more general.
Peer-to-Peer Protocol (P2PP) http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-baset-
p2psip-p2pp-00
"This document defines the Peer-to-Peer Protocol (P2PP), an
application-layer protocol, for creating and maintaining an overlay
of participant nodes. The overlay can be created using various
structured and unstructured peer-to-peer protocols such as Chord,
Pastry, Kademlia, Gnutella, and Gia."
REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) http://tools.ietf.org/html/
draft-bryan-p2psip-reload-01
"This document outlines the motivation, requirements, and
architectural design for a extensible and lightweight distributed
REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) protocol. RELOAD is a
Peer-
to-Peer (P2P) based approach for registration and resource discovery
using distributed hash tables maintained with binary messages."
Address Settlement by Peer to Peer http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-
jennings-p2psip-asp-00
"This document defines Address Settlement by Peer-to-Peer (ASP), a
peer-to-peer (P2P) binary signaling protocol for usage on the
Internet. A P2P signaling protocol provides its clients with an
abstract hash table service between a set of cooperating peers that
form the P2P network. "
Extensible Peer Protocol (XPP) http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-
marocco-p2psip-xpp-00
"This document defines the Extensible Peer Protocol (XPP), a
lightweight binary protocol for end-to-end sessions between peers in
distributed overlay networks. One of the main goals while creating
this protocol was support for nodes located behind firewalls and
NATs. XPP therefore uses UDP and allows endpoints to simultaneously
initiate sessions. Given the choice of the underlying protocol
(UDP), XPP also defines mechanisms for message fragmentation and
reliability."
A Distributed Transport Function in P2PSIP using HIP for Multi-Hop
Overlay Routing http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-matthews-p2psip-hip-
hop-00
"This document examines a P2PSIP architecture where the peer-to-peer
(P2P) layer is separate from and lies below the SIP layer. We
discuss the functions of the P2P layer in such an architecture, and
focus in on the Distributed Transport function - the function that
allows a peer to exchange messages with any other peer in the
overlay, even in the presence of NATs. ... the
Host Identity Protocol (HIP) already provides a number of these
features. We then propose extensions to HIP that allow it to
provide
the missing features. We discuss how a complete P2PSIP architecture
can be built around HIP, and contrast this approach with other
approaches for implementing a P2P layer."
