I know, I know. The research may be correct, but it's still stating the obvious. Anyone who's been on Gnutella recently knows that it's definitely not the future.

Speaking of the future... There is some really cool research happening WRT P2P network architecture. The goal is, of course, to have the nodes very well connected, but keep the chatter down. I think a good start would be to determine for every new client connecting who he's closest to, network-wise, and have him join the network over there. And I do believe someone is trying to make a geographically aware client, but my opinion of that is to just stick to optimizing network topography. LIke I said, the guy could be next door, but that's not saying much.
