The initially unrestricted host-to-host ommunicationmodel provided by the Internet Protocol has deteriorateddue to political and technical hanges caused by Internet growth. While this is not a problem for most client-server applications, peer-to-peer networks frequently struggle with peers that are only partially reachable. We describehow a peer-to-peer framework can hide diversity and obstacles in the underlying Internet and provide peer-to-peerapplications with abstractions that hide transport specificdetails. We present the details of an implementation of atransport service based on SMTP. Small-scale benchmarksare used to compare transport services over UDP, TCP, andSMTP.
