Strictly speaking, PPSP is a swarm transport protocol ("give me that data over IP, UDP or what have you, use any source available"). I mean, "sharing" is a concept unrelated to the TCP/IP stack thus PPSP is not a sharing standard.

For example, it is easy to imagine HTTP over PPSP (instead of TCP) -- which is essentially a serverless Web.

Serverless web... "use any source available".. Wow, feel free to share the code of that with us. Would be quite powerful and draw HN interest IMHO.

By "any source available" I meant Sec 3.10. "Peer Address Exchange". HTTP over PPSP is a weekend project as long as we mean good old static HTML Web. By the way, what is the current public repo for TUD PPSP?
