Hi, Victor: It is an interesting concept: Community.
We like to see this paper. Best regards, Radhika PS: We used to think like server farms. A server farm many have many servers for providing reliability and load sharing purposes. However, the logical view of the server has been a single server using standardized protocol(s) to the outside world. The communication within the servers was proprietary. In the case of "community" concept, I assume, that we can use the similar concept like that of the server farm. However, there is a difference. Now, the communications protocols used within a community will be standardized, as I guess you will be proposing in your draft. It will extend the P2PSIP concept for making a peer more robust - as I see it - a "logical" P2PSIP peer will probably NEVER fail because it is a part of a larger community. Definitely, it is welcomed to see the concept. If it is needed, we can form another WG to standadize this "community" P2PSIP protocol. ----- Original Message ----- From: Victor Pascual Ávila Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 13:10 Subject: Re: [P2PSIP] Group management on top of P2PSIP?
