They are as reliable and non-vulnerable as one could hope for, though I doubt they are perfect; I am building above the existing Jxta infrastructure for these. "Everyone" knows about them by using a common boostrap server to bootstrap into the Jxta network to gain the addresses of a few Rendezvous nodes. Rendezvous nodes then propagate information about their existence to other Rendezvous nodes at various times. Network partitions are certainly possible, and the requirement for a common bootstrap server is fragile. Jxta, and therefore P2P Sockets, currently has no protections against malicious/byzantine peers; it has relatively good protections against peers that fail non-maliciously.
