= 4th Generation of P2P =

Before the end of 2009 year we hope to launch software which
includes 4th generation P2P technology, meaning ''full self-organisation'' 
while offering advanced features such as:
  * Triple-mode video
   - Bittorrent compatible downloads
   - [wiki:Give-To-Get Video-on-demand]
   - [wiki:LiveStreaming Live streaming]
  * Scalable keyword [ContentSearch search] ([wiki:DecentralizedRecommendation personalised])
  * [wiki:TagBasedRecommendation Tagging], rating, [wiki:Moderation moderation], and [wiki:AdversarialContentSearch spam prevention]

We believe the key aspect of '''4G P2P'''
is removing the need for any server: zero-server P2P.
Without the need for servers it could offer unbounded scalability and
be used potentially by millions of PCs and Internet-only television sets.
Crafting an operational system which such a academically pure 
architecture has proven to be difficult. To date, no research team or start-up company 
has been able to create a pure P2P system which includes required features
such as streaming, easy search, and spam prevention.

== We need your help ==

Please try our streaming testing software: [http://trial.p2p-next.org at our trial website].

Volunteers are needed to test our software and to report bugs.
Currently we are specifically focussing on the streaming part of our P2P technology.
We are conducting a large trial in the upcoming days to stress-test our beta software
and measure how it is behaving outside the laboratory.

This trial is conducted from within the  [http://cordis.europa.eu/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=news.document&N_RCN=29153 P2P-Next] project.
This project provided the financial support and test content.
