Netsukuku, networks freed.

Netsukuku

What could knock out the Internet in no time at all? Not just a colossal black out or a contemporary sabotage key problem of the major backbones, but also a unilateral decision of companies and institutions who hold the reins of the largest network of close or disable their services. With this concrete scenario in mind, AlpT, one of the members of the effervescent collective Freaknet medialab of Catania supported by his colleagues has planned an ambitious software that threatens to create spontaneous networks that connect to each other without any technical need nor can control their activity. Netsukuku , in fact is a protocol for peer-to-peer (ie point-to-point), which solves the routing of packets through a network protocol called Npv7_HT. With this protocol becomes every PC connected to a router and the entire network is structured as a fractal. In addition, individual IP addresses are dynamic and always chosen at random, so that they are never directly associated with a particular user or a territorial area. The network then is totally distributed and exists only because someone starts somewhere and others will connect physically. In this way the control is the almost impossible and the only way to stop the exchange of data is to physically destroy each node. This is anarchic release the essence of the network and if taken on an adequate scale, and scope on the main platforms could actually achieve those temporary autonomous zones theorized a decade ago by Hakim Bey.
