abstract
  • Introduced by Sun Microsystems, Inc., the award winning JXTA technology is a set of open, generalized peer-to-peer protocols that allows any connected device (cell phone to PDA, PC to server) on the network to communicate and collaborate. Project JXTA is an open source effort that involved the developer community from the start. JXTA technology enables developers to create innovative distributed services and applications. JXTA technology is used to create applications and services that enable people to: * Collaborate on projects from anywhere using any connected device * Share compute services, such as processor cycles or storage systems, regardless of where the systems or the users are physically located * Communicate with colleagues across the world using a peer-to-peer network * Share files and information to distributed locations on the network, not just to local hard drives * Connect game systems so that multiple people in multiple locations can play the same game interactively
  • JXTA (Juxtapose) is an open source peer-to-peer protocol specification begun by Sun Microsystems in 2001. Sun remains actively involved in the development and promotion of JXTA. The JXTA protocols are defined as a set of XML messages which allow any device connected to a network to exchange messages and collaborate independently of the underlying network topology. JXTA is the most mature general purpose P2P framework currently available and was designed to allow a wide range of devices - PCs, mainframes, cell phones, PDAs - to communicate in a decentralized manner. As JXTA is based upon a set of open XML protocols, it can be implemented in any modern computer language. Implementations are currently available for Java Platform, Standard Edition, C/C++/C# and J2ME. The C# Version uses the C++/C native bindings and is not a complete re-implementation in its own right. JXTA peers create a virtual overlay network which allows a peer to interact with other peers even when some of the peers and resources are behind firewalls and NATs or use different network transports. In addition, each resource is identified by a unique ID, a 160 bit SHA-1 URN in the Java binding, so that a peer can change its localization address while keeping a constant identification number.
