Will there ever be a peer-to-peer message exchange for Synchronet?

Fidonet wasn't necessarily peer-to-peet was it? Like I want this.
You have 3 nodes, A,B and C.
A syncs wiyh B and C.
B syncs with A and C.
C syncs with A and B.
Think of a mesh like topology for the network. Do you think it would be possible. I emailed Mr. Swindell about it and he said it should work,

What is fidoweb? I keep hearing references to it, but have never see
it.

It's an FTN network where participating nodes exchange mail in a mesh topology. Requires tossers with excellent dupe checking, because each
node will receive _many_ dupes, which need to be fltered out. But the advantages are that everyone has redundant feeds, and no one node can
cut a system off.

Sounds like Fidoweb to me. :)

To add to this, and aside from cutting other systems off.. it's also a nice easy way to work around systems that are down as well. If you only had one uplink, and they go away on vacation only for their system to
go down as soon as they close the front door to their house (it
actually happens more than you'd like to think.. lol), you would get no mail until said system came back online. With the Fidoweb model, one
(or more even) system(s) can go down and there would be no stoppage in mail flow. This is one of the main reasons I joined in on the idea.
You're describing the Fidoweb. It is already happening, especially in Europe.

Does Synchronet offer the ability for this?
Yes, I see a lot of advantages to the idea. Once I'm confident in my dupe checking, I'll be interested in joining in. :)

Really. That's cool. Anywhere where I can find out more information on fidoweb.

Yes. Even better so now with sbbsecho v3. Joe and Bill bugged DM so
much he decided to make an entirely new version!
<cough cough> :) :) :)

Is there info on this network. I want to read up about it. After I play around with Synchronet.

You have 3 nodes, A,B and C.
A syncs wiyh B and C.
B syncs with A and C.
C syncs with A and B.
Rather than having nodr C and B sync with A or having C sync with B which in turn syncs with A.

not a FTN network... more like a connection methodology where you have redundant interconnections for an echo...

Technically, you're correct.
