The JXTA protocols defines a suite of six XML-based protocols that
standardize the manner in which peers self-organize into peergroups,
publish and discover peer resources, communicate, and monitor each other.
The Endpoint Routing Protocol (ERP) is the protocol by which a peer can
discover a route (sequence of hops) to send a message to another peer
potentially traversing firewalls and NATs. The Rendezvous Protocol (RVP) is
used for propagating a message within a peergroup. The Peer Resolver
Protocol (PRP) is the protocol used to send a generic query to one or more
peers, and receive a response (or multiple responses) to the query. The
Peer Discovery Protocol (PDP) is used to publish and discover resource
advertisements. The Peer Information Protocol (PIP) is the protocol by a
which a peer may obtain status information about another peers. The Pipe
Binding Protocol (PBP) is the protocol by which a peer can establish a
virtual communication channel or pipe between one or more peers. The JXTA
protocols permit the establishment a virtual network overlay on top of
physical networks allowing peers to directly interact and organize
independently of their network location and connectivity. The JXTA
protocols have been designed to be easily implemented on unidirectional
links and asymmetric transports.
