Event

<p>The Walkaway-Stack describes a peer-to-peer system where applications remain functional even if the underlying "event delivery" infrastructure changes. This enables seamless transitions between different network types—whether moving from a "connected" Internet stack to a "connectionless" mesh network, or from radio protocols to sneakernets, and vice versa. In this way, applications are decoupled from the underlying network, giving users the autonomy to choose their preferred infrastructure.</p> <p>In this presentation, I'll explore the space more broadly—examining why it's so exciting, why it's not fully solved yet, and where things currently stand. Hopefully, this will also reveal a theoretical overlap between "mesh protocols" and "overlay networks," which may actually be more closely related than we realize.</p> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>This lecture will be a compressed version of the "p2p lecture series" I've been then running bi-weekly in our community space "offline" in Berlin.</p>
