Some time ago, we (Pompeu Fabra University) considered including 'Community' concept in the P2PSIP terminology. We can think about 'Community' as a group of nodes (Overlay layer) or as a group of users (upper application layer, e.g. SIP). What do you have in mind? On the one hand, we considered community/group/whatever as a group of nodes and our main discussion was about if using a single overlay for both communities or just using one overlay (routing, storage) for each community. On the other hand, if we consider community as a group of users on the top of a single (or many) overlays, is there any significant difference between (SIP) (sub)domains concept and communities? I'm not trying to group users into domains, just suggesting a similar concept. We are preparing a paper on a related topic. It's basically a P2PSIP live streaming tv platform where users are grouped into stations/channels. Definitely, it is not in the scope of the P2PSIP WG.
