That's really not how CCN works. CCN is basically a content-based IP that affords easy caching for routing providers. Servers would still exist in their same general form.
- Peaker 15y agoWell, VJ brings specifically the example of data that is routed to another continent on board of a leaving aircraft. He stresses that the storage of every node in the network becomes a part of the network. It would really make censorship difficult -- any node can serve up any piece of data that happens to be stored on it.
- Locke1689 15y agoIt's not technically every node. Edge nodes wouldn't have much weight aside from their own content. ISP routing nodes would indeed have breadcrumbs, but there's no requirement that ISPs implement storage caching -- it's only in their financial best interest to implement it instead of network scaling. To a certain extent, yes, CCN has a distributed content nature, but that's not really what it's about. Mostly it's about routing.
