I realize that it's a really, really hard problem to solve. What I asked with this last message is, "Has anyone considered SIP as a possible solution to this problem?" RFC 3261: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3261.txt?number=3261
Another possible solution might be the protocol that Jabber uses to establish peer-to-peer file transfers. "Has anyone considered the possibility of using this as a solution?" http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0096.html I'm not a programmer (per se). I'm not going to learn how to program in Python. I am, however, a problem solver. I'm really, really interested in finding interesting solutions to interesting problems. THIS clearly is an "interesting problem." I know it's a really really hard problem to solve. I've pointed to two opensource projects that have solved similar problems. If this level of usage is outside the parameters of what tahoe-lafs is trying to address, that's fine. I'm just asking.
