Like Skype's proprietary VOIP protocols, SIP is another protocol that directly connects machines, and it's not proprietary. I don't know anything about how it works or what the overhead is, and I realize that a layer like this may be well outside of the scope of tahoe-lafs, but:
Would it be possible to run the introducer(s) as a "PBX" to connect "phone calls" between nodes using parts from SIP? I'm just desperately brainstorming here. My dreams of my tahoe-lafs grid are still smoldering in the heap that is left after the realization of the problems introduced by non-publics IPs. ---- - Think carefully. - Contra mundum - "Against the world" (St. Athanasius) - Credo ut intelliga - "I believe that I may know" (St. Augustin of Hippo)
