The existing Internet infrastructure is the starting point of the virtual intelligent network construction.

 

The peer-to-peer servicing intelligent networks

 

The direct connection between the users' machines through the Internet infrastructure makes it possible the opening of a new exchange space decentralized and independent of the Web servers.

 

The development direction of intelligent networks is based upon the collaborative principle of users and upon data decentralization. RU3 proposes using the peer-to-peer principle through original usage of the network system Gnutella (1). It is not any longer the disc space of the machines connected that is shared, but a part of their random-access memory. Completing this usage with the RAID-like system (2) approach, we have shown that pieces of information, redundantly distributed in the random-access of several machines, keep their integrity in spite of the disconnection of some of the machines. When redundancy is sufficient, the pieces of information reconstitute themselves, and are distributed again, as soon as new connections are established.

 

1. Gnutella is the protocol of open source GNU used by the majority of peer-to-peer networks (Freenet, Limewire, etc.)
2. RAID-like system: adaptation of RAID disc administrator technology applied to networks. Project open source Parchive project (Unix environment)
