If we went to P2P, how would you get around caching issues/slow propagation of new versions when updates are pushed to a given website? That seems like a dealbreaker unless I’m overlooking something.
- pabs3 2y agoSame as in the not-P2P Cloudflare world, get the data from the only node that has a copy of it, which would be the HTTP server or the P2P node run by the website owner.
- dogma1138 2y agoSo CDN with extra steps? In your world Cloudflare or anything like it would be in the best position to make itself indispensable for such a network. Regular client nodes won’t be the backbone of your P2P network these days since many of them are going to be mobile devices. So you are back to a tiered system where you have nodes which are more suitable for hosting (servers) and most suitable for consumers (clients).
