a thought about p2p in the context of briar: the web and mobile are effectively client/server only platforms, extremely resistant to p2p, thus those platforms require a layer of indirection in the form of a publicly addressable node that acts as proxy to an otherwise p2p system.

(the above is in the context of internet networking, not other means of communication that p2p apps may do additionally/instead)
