P2P is a good thing - whether you hate it or love it, its almost definitely for some illegal/legal reasons. I’m talking about the idea and the potential business benefits and network benefits in a bandwidth strained world. No matter how you look at it, it’s a growing and strong technology, and scientists at Carnegie Melon are taking it to the next step!
File sharing may soon move at a faster pace. Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon and Purdue say they’ve conquered one of the frustatrations of P2P downloads: the sometimes painfully slow speed.
Tomorrow the new SET protocol will be released at a conference in Cambridge, Mass. SET stands for Similarity-Enhanced Transfer. That conference is 4th Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation. The scientists say their new system is aimed at easier sharing of academic papers.
One of SET’s creators says they will release the system. He added, “This is a technique that I would like people to steal.” Bet you can name the software companies he does NOT work for.
