Protocol Revision

It would be nice to see the next protocol of Gnutella incorporate strictly a TLS protocol that would emulate traffic normally seen on the HTTPS port so ISPs would have trouble blocking Gnutella (like mine).

Hello,

How your ISP is blocking the Gnutella traffic ?

Because Gnutella could be used on different ports and as the gnutella messages are usually compressed is not easy to analyse the tcp frames.

Regards
Juan

Sadly the compression yields a standard beginning of the message stream, so they can just stop the handshakes.

To avoid that we'd have to start the handshakes with a random (and ignored) bitsequence and compress from the very beginning.

Let me know when this happens, then I can use G2

G2 isn't Gnutella.

G2 and gnutella are two different networks, which share only little of their design (such as the handshake, for example).
