Peer to Peer Whitepapers suggestions?

Any suggestions on the kinds of whitepapers you would like to see on the peer to peer collaboration space? We have technologies for serverless name resolution, multiparty communication meshes, people near me and application invite, amongst others.

We already have an introductory white paper on the website. Have you read it? What are your thoughts on it, and suggestions for improvement?

Also, let us know what other white papers you think we should have.

BTW, the introductory paper is at

and the website is http://www.microsoft.com/p2p

I have customers that want to edit documents together. -- at the same time.

Of course, I want a CalDav P2P and Outlook provider

Scope and reach of each technology (graphing, grouping and collaboration) is what I'm interested in.

What works on the local sub-net, how a peer application might route between subnets, what works on the Internet and what works through a firewall.

If I wanted to build something like error reporting and online crash analysis, but using P2P, could I do it?

I also think that if Microsoft's p2p technolgy is going to make a difference, service/application discovery via a p2p managed distributed namespace similar to DNS or UDDI is crucial.

Expand on Security and P2P networking. How Infocards and other security systems are ment to interact with the P2P system.

Great. Thank you. We will try to target these diverse needs :)

Mike, by CalDav, did you mean the protocol to access calendar?

# re: Peer to Peer Whitepapers suggestions?

I'm definitely anxious to know...

1. The scalability. How many nodes is practicle using this architecture? How much bandwidth is used compared to traditional client server architecture? How much bandwidth is used as number of nodes changes? How much bandwidth is used when a message is broadcast by one node to all other? How much time is spent before a node gets connected in a large network.

2. Where is Teredo server currently? Are there any defaults? Is it going to be there for ever? How internal networks not connected on Internet can set it up? What are the network requirements to set one up? How Teredo interenally works (UDP hole punching?)? Can this infrastructure work without IPv6 if Teredo servers are not available?

3. What are the typical topologies formed for say when 30 nodes gets connected? Any diagrams of simulations would be nice.

4. Reliability. When a message sent by a node does not receive a response, does it really means node isn't? Numbers of hops may be pretty large and hence chance of message loss is pretty high. Is it true?

5. Replicated data store. Is it built on SQL Server, XML or something else? How dynamics are orchastrated? What happens when A syncs with B and C, B syncs with D and then C syncs with D? Would there be any ADO.Net provider to access this data store? Are there any events raised as data changes? Is there any built in features to maintain versions of data?

6. Real time streaming capabilities. Can a node, for example, transmit the video content to thousands of other nodes without reaching bandwidth bottlenecks.

7. Distributed computing. Is there any built-in features to let node execure code on other nodes remotely (P2P version of RPC)?

Excellent questions Shital. I will make sure the white paper addresses these. I'll also uplevel your questions and answer them in the blog, so that the answers are available to everyone.

Where to I get help with a Teredo problem?

I saw it mentioned on an MSDN blog and installed it (via Add/Remove Windows Components) on my Window Media Center 2005 system and now I get random DNS failures. Really strange.

I will try to get you a contact that you can work with to get this problem resolved. Thanks!
