Breaking the server and data communications barrier with serverless guaranteed quality of service (GQoS) compliant communications

摘要

Imagine receiving a new software application that can be installed on any device enabling the secure, simultaneous exchange and distribution of media files, unrestricted by type, volume and number of users. All you need is a Java-enabled device and a network connection. There is no server, so there is no need to install any additional infrastructure. In this serverless world, conducting a telephone or videoconference with multiple parties is as easy as sending an E-mail or calling a friend. You can manage your connection to your colleagues, wherever you are, from a PC or a handheld wireless device. You can connect to other group members or redirect large documents to your desktop PC or any other connected device. You can now move documents and media rich content to any user or group of users securely without the need of a server, and receive confirmation of receipt from each user. In effect what you have here is a "Personal Communications Center" that gives you the equivalent of a personal, limitless express courier and conferencing service. This concept of Personal Business Communications is no longer a futuristic dream. Quick Com is making it reality. Peer-to-Peer technologies are poised to remove the service, delivery and quality limitations of the present day information exchange system, and to bring high quality, professional communications standards to the world of Internet-based networks at a fraction of the cost. In this paper we will review the concepts of Networks, Data Delivery, and Architectures. We will examine why Quality of Service is essential in Peer-to-Peer exchange, distribution and communications for business communities. In closing, this paper will highlight the competitive, survival advantage of serverless and Peer-to-Peer communities.
