      This rather recent paper discusses a peer-to-peer system that is
    designed to function as an Internet-wide persistent storage entity. This
    entity is organized as a collection of nodes, each of which hosts files.
    A routing layer called Pastry is discussed briefly.

     

      A simple and clean interface is provided for insertion, retrieval and
    reclamation of the file. This interface is based on a 160-bit values
    called fileId - It's interesting to note that fileId essentially is a
    capability to the file.

     

     Overall I liked this paper a lot - although I find that reading
    efficiency should be considered before accurate utilization of the
    storage.
