Upvoted. We really need more systems that can do P2P well (centralized is just a special case of P2P - you need a few robust, replicating nodes with high connectivity). The routing, replication and persistence of messages is completely orthogonal to the physical nodes and TCP channels. Unfortunately systems are not usually designed this way. The problem has been solved to a large degree by some systems in the past - Croquet comes to mind, though there are probably others. IPFS is getting there is a roundabout way. Another interesting protocol/system scuttlebot.io.
