The fallacy of Peer to Peer

posted by ari

And one more image. The fallacy, BTW, is that you don't care if you can push to all your peers in parallel. The fact that you have to is crazy and unscalable. Data mastering / partitioning is way more scalable w/o a loss in reliability, but way more availability than a mesh (peer-to-peer or multicast).
