Abstract
Provided are improved systems and methods for networking and internetworking personal servers and associated end-user devices in a modified peer-to-peer (P2P) format, or Peerouette-Net. A personal server, or peersona, may be part of a network of peersonas where each peersona represents a user of the Peerouette-Net. Associated with each peersona are the devices of the user, or edge-peers, that communicate with the peersona and through the peersona as part of the Peerouette-Net. The Peerouette-Net is a modified P2P network in that it consists of two levels of connection between end-user devices, rather than one level of end-user devices. The software that executes in the peersonas rather than the software that executes in the edge-peers may facilitate the P2P nature and functionality of the Peerouette-Net.
