Well, imagine that instead of spoofable IP addresses we are using cryptographic unique public keys for worldwide addressing. Therefore, when a packet arrives, it will always arrive at the *right* destination and always be coming from the *right* source. Then imagine this amazing new scientific mechanism by which any pubkey can find a route to any other pubkey on the planet, evading any attempt of censorship if necessary. It needs no IANA, no ICANN, it doesn't even need BGP. Just wires and airwaves and whatever legacy stuff you have.. like HTTPS over TCP/IP. Now think that all of that works automatically and your application just needs to think in terms of people: I need to send a message to Jill and a file to Marc and Suzie. And then there is this video stream of my incoronation that a million people would like to watch. GNUnet will find a way to Jill, Marc, Suzie without star topology and server filtering. So what you think we need maybe sounds like GNUnet to me. > many greetings, willi > Asuncion, Paraguay Asuncion?
