	OpenP2P.com -- Gnutella: Alive, Well, and Changing Fast
		It is generally acknowledged that Gnutella was not designed to support an unlimited user population, but instead a few hundred to perhaps a few thousand users.
		The Gnutella protocol defines five message types, the data carried by each type, the transmission rules for each type and the mechanics of connection between hosts.
		In the open world of Gnutella, free from central authority, compliance means being able to effectively communicate with the bulk of the installed base.

	What Is Gnutella?
		Gnutella isn't all bad; in fact, it is much more than just a nifty little piracy aid with a cool name.
		Gnutella is a network that is not dependent on any one computer, so if one or even one-thousand computers go down, yours will still work, and you will be on your merry downloading way.
		Gnutella software is very abundant out there around the net for you to download, however, right now there are two main contenders for Gnutella servers on the Macintosh platform.

	Regarding Gnutella - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		“Gnutella” is, at present, the name for a protocol for distributed file sharing, mostly used for music files.
		In any case, the name was originally a word play on “GNU” (the original developers planned to release their code under the GNU GPL, and may have had in mind contributing it to the GNU project) and “Nutella” (a candy bar that the original developers enjoyed).
		We have asked that the Gnutella developers change the name to avoid confusion; perhaps that will happen in the future.

	O'Reilly Network -- Gnutella and Freenet Represent True Technological Innovation
		Each piece of Gnutella software is both a server and a client in one, because it supports bidirectional information transfer.
		The Gnutella developers call the software a "servent," but since that term looks odd I'll stick to "client." You can be a fully functional Gnutella site by installing any of several available clients; lots of different operating systems are supported.
		Thus, people are likely to use Gnutella for sophisticated searches, ending up with a URL just as they would with a traditional search engine.

	Gnutella: To the Bandwidth Barrier and Beyond
		Gnutella hosts were found at over 550 institutions in the EDU domain, with MIT and Virginia Tech leading a broadly distributed pack.
		The history of Gnutella can be divided into two eras: "pre-barrier" and "post-barrier," where the terms refer to the traffic level on the public Gnutella network relative to dial-up modem bandwidth, and the dividing line falls in August 2000.
		Gnutella hosts with resolvable host names in the COM domain were therefore strongly concentrated in a small number of second-level domains, with 87% of hosts residing in the top 25.

	Gnutella - a definition from Whatis.com
		Gnutella is a system in which individuals can exchange files over the Internet directly without going through a Web site in an arrangement sometimes described as peer-to-peer (here meaning "person-to-person").
		After installing and launching Gnutella, a user's computer (node) becomes both a client and a server in the network (which is called GnutellaNet) and is able to share files that other Gnutella users have set up to make available.
		Gnutella, whose name pays homage to both the hazelnut/chocolate spread "Nutella" and the GNU project of the Free Software Foundation, was originally developed by Nullsoft (creators of MP3 and WinAMP).

	The Gnutella paradox - Salon
		"Gnutella is not really adapted to a large number of hosts, and is not at all adapted [to] a context with spammers and flooders on the network," worries Lambla.
		But because Gnutella is not owned by any single entity, the process is moving slowly -- especially compared to the increasing speed with which the recording industry is finally beginning to respond to threats.
		Gnutella may well fix its technical problems in the coming months; but if Napster is shut down next week, such help won't have come fast enough.

	Knowbuddy's Gnutella FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The gnutella protocol is a bit different in that clients become servers and servers become clients all at once.
		The gnutella network is made up of hundreds (eventually many thousands) of servents all chattering away at each other and sending files back and forth.
		Gnutella takes this a bit further than Napster by also allowing you to share different types of files, but the basic principles are the same.

	Salon.com Technology \| The Gnutella paradox
		Gnutella is not only already being heralded as the next Napster, but it's also considered by its most avid fans to be a better Napster: an open-source software program that is decentralized and anonymous, harder to sue than Napster and versatile enough to support all kinds of files.
		Gene Kan, 25, Gnutella's lead evangelist and the man behind the Gnutella portal at gnutella.wego.com, believes that the software is prepared for widespread use, even if he admits that it currently is still flawed.
		And Gnutella's legal status is also murky: The RIAA is already hinting that it may be preparing a strategy to attack Gnutella.

	Gnutella v. Gnutella2
		Calling Shareaza "Gnutella 2" is just a cheap shot and shows the type of selfishness and greed that causes all Gnutella developers to question the real motivation behind this, as it appears nothing more than a blatant attempt of self-promotion with the destructive results of purposely confusing the general public.
		Certainly all the Gnutella developers have an incentive to develop a better network, which we feel companies such as LimeWire with their GUESS proposal is well on the way to doing.
		Every client, while also helping Gnutella grow as a community, naturally wants to give it's program an edge, but it is important to understand that a new protocol that effects all versus new client features that effects only one's users are absolutely two different things.

		But the "Gnutella" project may never get past its current beta stage if AOL determines the project is a threat to record labels Warner Music and EMI, which would become part of AOL this year if pending mergers are approved.
		If AOL sees Gnutella in the same light, the Nullsoft employees may not be able to continue development.
		After Slashdot posted information on the Gnutella project yesterday, there was a burst of traffic sent to the page on the Nullsoft site with thousands of downloads, before the plug was pulled late Tuesday.

	Salon.com Technology \| Gnutella bandwidth bandits
		On Gnutella discussion sites, programmers are discussing a number of technical proposals that would make access to the network contingent on good behavior: If you write code that hurts Gnutella, in other words, you don't get to play.
		In a way, say people in the open-source movement, Gnutella is in a spot that many open projects have faced before; it's a strange mix of order and disorder, upstarts and old-timers, proprietary interests and open-source purists, and it needs to find the right balance, or it could founder.
		Gnutella is fully decentralized, and that, people said, rendered it immune to legal action; in late 2000, when Napster's court-imposed shutdown seemed imminent, it was this promise of Gnutella's invincibility that seemed to sustain most file traders.

	The Gnutella file-sharing network and Java - Java World
		Gnutella is a peer-to-peer system, with client software that also acts as a server -- software typically referred to as a servant.
		The file-sharing service's servant is connected to Gnutella and is continuously responding to search queries from the network, eliminating the need for an intermediary search engine.
		Gnutella shares a document by copying the file to a shared directory and having the servant scan and index the file.

	Why Gnutella Can't Scale. No, Really.
		Most stories covering Gnutella were grossly and inappropriately evangelistic, praising the not-yet-analyzed Gnutella as a technology capable of delivering on wildly fantastic promises of fully distributed, undeterrable, unstoppable, larger-than-life file sharing on the grandest scale.
		Gene Kan, the first to spearhead the Gnutella evangelistic movement, claimed in one early interview: "Gnutella is going to kick Napster in the pants." Later Kan admitted "Gnutella isn't perfect", but still went on to say that "there's no huge glaring thing missing".
		Self-Replication Using Gnutella centered on the characteristics an Internet Worm inside a GnutellaNet could thrive from, and also touched on a few other flaws that would be useful to an attacker.

	Gnutella: To the Bandwidth Barrier and Beyond
		In this report, the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) search solutions company Clip2.com describes the evolution and present condition of the Gnutella P2P file sharing network, based on substantial data it gathered over a five month period.
		The present estimate of unique Gnutella users per day is somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 a day.
		Major conclusions are that the Gnutella P2P network is an international phenomenon led by the US, Germany, and Japan, substantial populations of hosts in.com and.net domains are on ISP second-level domains, and hosts are widely distributed among.edu domains.

	The Value of Gnutella and Freenet
		Gnutella and Freenet are simple protocols that let sites query one another in a chain—the way systems have always exchanged news and mail over UUCP—in order to find material matching a search string.
		Gnutella and Freenet extends this irreversible status to content: any content placed on one of those systems becomes nearly impossible to control.
		Gnutella and Freenet have much to offer; in addition to the search possibilities already mentioned, they distribute information in a way that offers an intriguing alternative to the heavy, expensive, overly centralized servers that characterize the Web at present.

	Non-Infringing Uses of Gnutella
		By studying the current operation of the Gnutella network, and through ongoing research, enhancements to the existing Gnutella protocols as well as new protocols can be developed to overcome these technical challenges.
		These new protocols can be added to open-source Gnutella implementations, and can then be deployed to create a trusted peer-to-peer network that provides efficient search, perpetually preserves information, tolerates attacks by malicious nodes, guarantees authentic information, and enforces intellectual property rights.
		Of course, without a large "real-life" deployment of a peer-to-peer network such as Gnutella, it would be difficult to understand the characteristics of a peer-to-peer network, and there would not exist a significant test-bed in which new protocols could be tested for scalability.
