wouldn't the client also?
See draft-pascual-p2psip-clients, Section 4, Argument number 4
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pascual-p2psip-clients-01#page-6
Please, let me know your opinion.
DY> Ah... so the clients communicate with the P2P overlay "peer" nodes
by way of the "client protocol". So if the P2P overlay supports such
a client protocol, client nodes can connect to the overlay without any
knowledge of the underlying DHT algorithm (or anything else in the
underlying overlay network).
DY> Got it... thanks for explaining.
DY> This does, of course, assume that whatever P2PSIP protocol we use
would have a client protocol.
