So P4P is short for PPP for P2P, which makes sense.

Last I cared to check, somewhere in the gigantic IPv4 address it has location info and routing information in it--so that NAT would be eliminated altogether. Every device would have it's own unique address forever and ever.

All this seems to be doing is taking routers and switches, networking them together and letting them check to see which ones are loaded--something that is called LOAD BALANCING and that they (should?) be using now.]]>Mar 14th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/verizon-gloms-onto-p4p-doubles-up-on-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/verizon-gloms-onto-p4p-doubles-up-on-the-competition/Mar 14th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/verizon-gloms-onto-p4p-doubles-up-on-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/verizon-gloms-onto-p4p-doubles-up-on-the-competition/Mar 14th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/verizon-gloms-onto-p4p-doubles-up-on-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/verizon-gloms-onto-p4p-doubles-up-on-the-competition/or P2P * 2 = P2(2)P = P4P?
