Reply To: Sending and receiving application messages through overlay (in this case Chord)

[Philipp Giesen]

Hey Matthias,

thanks for your suggestion, but what if my application wants to be independent from the network overlay used. Say I want to send messages within my application on a gnutella overlay.

It seems odd to implement different types of messages on my application layer, when the actual used network overlay in the simulation is unknown to the application (and only managed by different overlay handlers like in the filesharing application).

Regards,
Philipp
