I had actually been meaning to send another message about Rhizome for some time. I did some research into the code and I also came across a blog post by yourself discussing your tests with Rhizome implemented over MDP; http://servalpaul.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/rhizome-over-mdp.html . I find the concept of the Rhizome journalling quite interesting, and I think it would definitely be relevant for the sharing of on-demand (recorded files), however I am not sure if it would work for the interactive video calling/VoIP traffic, but I must admit I have not looked at Rhizome in much detail so I could be wrong. Actually one question I have, leading on from your blog post; is Rhizome intended to be implemented over MDP? If so, aside from the journal concept of a file being a version which can be updated, and the use of store and forward, is there much of a difference between Rhizome routing and MDP routing?

Rhizome doesn't route. It just floods, one hop at a time. Though now that we have a rhizome transport built on MDP it would be possible to transfer content directly over a number of hops. Just because we have a novel tool doesn't make it a good fit for every problem. Just because you have a good hammer, doesn't make every problem a nail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Serval Project Developers" group.
