Chapter discussion added as I read the book

A Network of Peers: Peer-to-peer models through the history of the Internet: Nelson Minar; Marc Hedlund; This chapter discusses the evolution of the Net, tracing it from an open, trusted, but limited society to the widespread, security conscious creature it is today. Notes that asymmetric bandwidth and firewalls and dynamic addressing and NAT are all handicapping peer-to-peer technologies, and thus, should go to make way for the inevitable success of P2P. Mostly sounds whiny, though.
