Default Gnutella P2P cloud

Hello moiza,

Currently Gnutella is only used to transfer files. By extending the protocol, it is possibles to have a network of peers which are able to exchange Web services using an XML interface above Gnutella. Also, if the P2P clients evolve, they can execute application code that have been transferred via Gnutella. Then the P2P network of clients becomes a cloud because applications can execute on the Gnutella network, no matter on which P2P client they are located in. Applications such as remote desktops, ubiquitous web servers, resilient emergency systems then become possible over Gnutella.
