HTTP if more of an access protocol,the logical network is woven in the web page controled by html, the network needed is formed and take part in by tcp/ip protocol which usually lies in kernel. Kademlia itself has the responsibility to weave the p2p network and bring a node into the p2p network before access can be done. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
