Service Discovery using Gnutella
 

Hello,

I am trying to build a service discovery architecture that is based on Gnutella. Basically, each peer possess a set of services, which could be discovered and used by other peers in the network.

I thought of:

1) using GnucDNA as the underlying P2P framework
2) forming a private P2P network using GnucDNA
3) using custom meta-data/XML-Schemas to describe the services.
4) searching for services (similar to searching for files) by using those custom meta-data in the private P2P network.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could suggest or comment on the feasibility of this approach.

Thanks

how this program work? i need details, details, details :cool:

Actually, I did not develop it yet. I was wondering if any body can comment on the feasibility of my approach, and/or suggest the methodology.

For me, it think it great to create a service directory

My Concerns is:

• Do we have to registar to your service for us to be in the directory?
  Will this "program" will be open source?

BUt great advangde on this directory is that any p2p can use it and will turn up a faster result

You're probably better off with the "P2P-Hackers" mailing list. Look at archive, it contains interesting and very technical discussions:
