So What’s
LinuxWifi?
Put simply, peer-to-peer computing is the sharing of
computer resources and services by direct exchange between
systems. Peer-to-peer
computing takes advantage of existing desktop computing power
and networking connectivity, allowing economical clients to
leverage their collective power to benefit the peer to peer
community. In a peer-to-peer architecture, computers that have
traditionally been used solely as clients communicate directly
among themselves and can act as both clients and servers,
assuming whatever role is required by the application.
This project uses the peer-to-peer architecture for
developing a audio file sharing system that will work on any
platform. Developers interested in learning more about our
software can download source code and documentation at the

For LinuxWifi we used JXTA peer-to-peer protocols in
order to pass messages and files between two peers without the
use of a centralized server. The protocol
specification and implementation in Java can be obtained
