@Katya >From my own perspective, a network can be considered "overlay" if some or all of the nodes perform a relay and/or routing function via server-to-server or peer-to-peer communications.
Obvious candidates include Tor, I2P and various VPN implementations, as well as IRC. Less obvious ones might include SMTP (servers), Jabber (servers), VoIP (Skype and SIP servers yes, TeamSpeak/Ventrilo/Mumble no). OpenNap used server-to-server communications to fan out searches to other OpenNap servers. Not sure if BitTorrent can be considered a network in the truest sense. Just my 2 cents. :) -- Parity Boy parity....@gmail.com -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
