Once again, I think we should first reach a consensus on: - What a client is - What a client can do for the overlay - Differences between a client and a peer and, - Can we merge the client function in the peer protocol? If we could, Why should do we do it? - Do we need a separate protocol? We tried to discuss it in the following document: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pascual-p2psip-clients-01 V. Pascual, M. Matuszewski, E. Shim, H. Zheng and Y. Song, "P2PSIP Clients" Internet Draft draft-pascual-p2psip-clients-01, February 2008. It's open for discussion.
