As far as I've ever been able to tell, the answer to this question is as simple as: distribute large file/data distribution, centralize everything else.
The only other examples of useful p2p I've ever seen have to do with disaster relief/post conflict zones where your entire infrastructure is gone. The wireless mesh networks being laid down in developing regions also come to mind, but those are both very small use cases on Internet scale. -Adam _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
