Internet of Peers

" summary

Claims that peer‑to‑peer can be practical by combining UDP hole‑punching, a DHT for name resolution and uTP for reliable streams; implements this as npm modules (including peer-to-peer-test, hyper DHT bindings and a pnet/p‑nut library) and runs a demo. Measurement shows about 80–90% networks hole‑punchable and adding multiple peers drives failure from ~10% toward 0.1%. Demo works locally and often across WANs; fallback proxies or extra peers handle the remaining cases.
