comparing to Gnutella - In contrast to Gnutella, JXTA was designed for a multiplicity of purposes. Gnutella is one protocol (or perhaps 1.5 if you include its minimalist use of HTTP), while the JXTA core consists of several protocols. This difference is considerable and hard to overstate.

Python-related notes

• http://jxtapy.jxta.org/ uses Jython?

  • notes about applicability to OSAF. JXTA embodies a number of powerful P2P primitives expressed as XML-based protocols and the current project web site has reference implementations on Java and C ( the latter running on a number of PDA's).
