Advances in Decentralized Peer Networks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-systems-slip-through-your-fingers dept.

PureFiction writes "Peer networks are gaining some attention these days given advances in much more decentralized search architectures and swarming distribution networks. Research has indicated that these decentralized networks are resistant to legal and technological attacks. The continued proliferation of broadband and wireless networking will ensure pervasive deployment of distributed peer networking infrastructure that will drive significant innovations in personal and community digital communications services."

    Given enough resources, large companies can "pollute" these networks with "garbage" (i.e. corrupted songs etc.) that top people's search lists so that it becomes an intensely frustrating thing to find a full, complete, and good quality file.

    Then again, I have that problem anyways. Blimey!

    Is it just me, or did that mess of links and words look strangely like things I read at work?

    If I wanted to read horrible PC-edited, buzzword-laden, over-link tripe, I would look at the stack of paperwork on my left that is being shunned in favor of reading SlashDot.
