So like a P2P CDN. Big deal. A CDN like Amazon's is cheap and efficient. For web applications, e.g. dynamic content, a CDN isn't helpful, and neither will this system be. I don't see this as revolutionary.
- pfarrell 13y agoA P2P CDN without Amazon (or any corporation or government) able to control it? It may not be technically revolutionary, but stopping the concentration of power could reduce the threat of the Internet becoming the tool of fascism. That would be revolutionary. ymmv

See: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2012/05/cloudfront-dynamic-content-support.html http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2012/05/cloudfront-dynam... Lots of "dynamic" content can be cached for some amount of time. At very least, the truly dynamic parts of a page can be cached and the dynamic stuff can be AJAXed or SSIed in.
