A simple guide for creating a basic Gnutella servent in Python3; a work in progress.

  1. The network I call TagNetwork is the basic networking layer which historically formed tha whole networking layer of Gnutella. It is massively optimized for fuzzy string-based searching. What it can’t do well is searching for stuff identified by hashes. For these kinds of searches Gnutella recently added a DHT, so I call the original network “TagNetwork” because that’s where it is best: Searching for files which match certain tags.  ↩
