Each time with an epoch-making innovation occurs, it is often misreaded by people. P2P is no exception, Napster has begun to pay attention to P2P, but many people think that P2P is a song exchange, file exchange, and even think that P2P and piracy have an inevitable connection. It can be said that people's understanding of P2P is misleaded and incomplete. Free Software has also faced a misreaded dilemma. When people start, I will understand Free software as free, thus thinking that free software is unreliable, and believes that free software movement is radical "anti-culture". In fact, more free should refer to free exploration ideas, express and share software in software. This is naturally natural, but someone needs someone to tell the business, the media and the public free software is economical and logically viable. At that time, the famous publisher O'Reilly organized a free software summit to redefine the free software and rename the free software as an open source software (Open Source Software). This redefine makes people began to open misunderstandible dark clouds to learn about the essence of Free. Open source will free people from defective software, locking effects, and traditional software distribution channels. Free representation of cooperation will across the company's boundaries, sharing basic development, enabling people to focus on high value-added services. In August of this year, O'Reilly organized another summit to help people know the potential of P2P and eliminate NAPSTER, GNUTELLA is a negative impact of pirated technology. In addition, he believes that the status of P2P is similar to "blind touch", and everyone of P2P technology has seen some of the characteristics of P2P's "giant". If they can have the opportunity to exchange ideas, P2P will develop faster. This P2P summit has three main purposes: define P2P, what we want from, what is the opportunity to describe P2P, what kind of problem can P2P can solve it; form an information provided to the public, eliminate the negative impact. The people who live in real time in real-time and in real time are the basic requirements for commercial applications. The phone can do this, and the most commonly used E-mail on the network does not do this. Therefore, instant messages will not just an interesting service, more of which will be the next most basic Internet business tool. Immediate messages now look like a platform such as customer service, supply chain management and other commercial applications. Developed an open source-based XML and Java instant messaging service Jabber seems to have created a platform. Jabber developers seem to deliberately concentrate all the exciting things in the Internet: P2P, Java, XML, and open source. Is it this potential? We'd better stay, but the Jabber mode is at least much more clear than Napster. Active personal negroponte has a famous discussion in its "digital survival", "there will be more than people". " P2P will make the direct communication between these "things" be possible. Every device on the Internet is "active", not as some in the past is very active, and some passive, sometimes directly exchanged Those devices may be their own, such as data synchronization of the handheld and desktop computer is the best example. If some data and content on the user's hand are not available on a desktop computer, desktop computers should also be able to get those information to the handheld computer, which should be the same as those who download MP3 songs through napster to other users. The most important thing is that it is not the number of nodes on the network but how these nodes participate in the network to determine if the network is powerful, whether it is valuable. How to make hundreds of millions of people and more equipment on the Internet participate in? P2P is a series of architectures, technologies, strategies, which make this ideal of the Internet becomes reality. Now people see and predict are only a small corner of the iceberg, more still underwater.
