In this paper, Oram has mainly focused on the issues related to the efficient use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems in the academic community and also the problems associated with that. He acknowledges that P2P applications are well experimented in the academic environments, as we get most users here and most of them come up with several novel and innovative ideas. The Internet2 project seems to be an ideally suited platform to that, which also encourages doing and getting most from the limited resources. But this could land up on to some legal apprehension, like file sharing, which the college administrators have already gone thru. However, stuffs like Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) actually makes legal liability a bit easier for them. The author also cited a fascinating fact that in a response to growth and the need to scale upward, centralized systems are evolving toward decentralization, and also the complementary operation is taking place for the same reason. For example, P2P decentralized systems like Gnutella has Superpeers as the centralized system. With the decentralization of data, the load on the server of P2P systems is reduced to a certain extent. The author also discussed about naming & resource discovery and delivering services. Finally, Oram ends the note with the social involvement in the P2P systems and the marks that it is going to left among the folks in the society.
