The time is right for P2P and Project JXTA

The time is right for P2P and Project JXTA

• Peer to Peer (P2P) is not new. However, the time
  is now right for the broad P2P applications
  deployment.
• The Project JXTA technology lets developers build
  and deploy P2P solutions more quickly.

What is Peer-to-Peer (P2P)?

• P2P covers a wide range of applications
• Sharing files, distributed search and indexing
• Sharing CPU and storage resources
• Instant messaging devices communicating
  together
• Collaborative work (and games)
• Web services
• New forms of content distribution, sharing, and
  delivery
• P2P is not
• New or a specific architecture, technology,
  business model, or market
• About eliminating servers or centralized services

P2P is about any device easily connecting
directly to other devices to enable a more
cooperative, or social, style of computing.

P2P Makes Sense Now

• More people connected, more data generated
• More nodes on the Internet and wireless Web
• More bandwidth available
• More computing power available (disk, memory,
  CPU)
• More interesting applications, content, and
  services
• Edge devices are increasingly providers of
  resources

Network Computing Explosion
Everything that touches the network is growing
at an exponential rate

Use of the Network/ Value of the Network
5
Characteristics of Ideal P2P Applications

• Applications best suited for P2P implementation
  are those where
• Centralization is not possible or desired
• Massive scalability is desired
• Relationships are transient or ad-hoc
• Resources are highly distributed
• Resilience is desired

6
What is JXTA?

• An open set of XML-based protocols for creating
  peer-to-peer style network computing applications
  and services
• Protocol based --gt language, OS, network, and
  service agnostic technology
• A virtual network overlay
• Defines mechanisms, not policies
• Open Source project www.jxta.org

7
JXTA Enables Classic P2P Applications

• Communications,collaboration, gaming
• Content delivery and sharing networks
• Transactional webservices
• Resource sharing

JXTA Sample Project tini.jxta.org

• TINI lets you Internet-enable any device. JXTA
  gives you peer-to-peer capabilities. Combine them
  both and you've got peer-to-peer appliances.
• Your refrigerator can work with your freezer and
  other appliances to track inventory
• Assembly floor robots can cooperate in
  construction
• Physically distant climate microsensors can
  generate knowledge from raw data
• TINI MP3 players can exchange music data and
  metadata
• And more!

14
JXTA Technology Objectives

• Interoperability
• Across different P2P systems and communities
• Platform independence
• Programming languages, system platforms, and
  networking platforms
• Ubiquity
• Every device with a digital heartbeat
• Security and Monitoring
• For commercial and enterprise deployment
