Well. here's your problem; depending on the architecture, the

What's with these cute cryptic and ultimately meaningless names?

I used the term "topology guru" because I wanted something that
halfway describes what is going on. Coining a word with "torrent"
in it is wrong because this kind of topology guru can be used with
any P2P protocol. And P4P seems more like a brand name that tries
to leverage off the term P2P.

Perhaps call it TopoMaster, and make it an open protocol that any app that
needs to move lots o' bits around can use.
