A new Protocol

My pc is almost always on and connected to the internet, while I am in office I would like to access my pc. I would like to make certain file systems public so that I can share them with other user on the internet. Its like a p2p sharing, but its not anonymous, the way it is now.

If I want to access some pc, I fire up a client like a chat client for example, see if it is online and then click on the online identity to access data. Whats the benifit, a network which is more tightly integrated.

I know its possible technically, we just need to work a bit on the address resoultion part, with many people behind their ISP networks without public IPs. This is already happening with p2p clients communicating independently, I am lookign forward to a non-anonymous p2p link.

There are softwares that allow you to share files across pcs , through chat clients, but they make use of a central server.I upload there and then you download there, thats kind of inefficient, whats the point. I need something to be more direct. If we can crack this, it will free up a lot of bandwidth. There is no need for my message to travel all the way around the world to a central server while the person I am chatting is just next to me.

If we can extend the IP address resolution, or come up with a new address protocol that doesnt break any existing TCP/IP. The network will be more independent, more robust less clogged, more responsive.
