again I am astonished at how close this is to the system were building (http://pdis.hiit.fi , but it's a shame that the beef is not public, yet). All the main ideas are exactly the same: bi-directional, stateless, hashed index tree (except we haven't implemented that yet, only "exchange all" and boy does that su..). It's just so surprising, seeing that monotone is a version control system and pdis a synchronisation engine.
yes, reading your abstract there it does seem very similar.
Apart from saying well done, I only wanted to ask whether you looked at BEEP.
only briefly, in an unrelated context. truthfully it didn't occur to me to layer netsync on top of it -- or any other protocol -- until I was well into the work. someone else suggested XMPP too, which could also theoretically work, but the baggage involved (and rather bulky encoding of objects) seemed not worthwhile.
