I guess that proves it's not total hot air, but I have serious doubts whether the folks who wrote it know what they're doing. For all the yelling about fractals, the routing, as described, seems to consist of lots of recursive broadcasting - i.e. Gnutella... There was some stuff that about grouping that sounds like some sort of self arranging heirarchical routing table, but then they talk about whether it'll scale and mention 300MB routing tables - which doesn't sound hopeful! To be fair, I must admit I haven't looked at the code yet - maybe it's clearer than the web-site...
