   This document is an attempt to classify different types of node in
   peer-to-peer Session Initiation Protocol (P2PSIP).  Four possible
   types of nodes in P2PSIP are discussed based on two characters:
   whether it offers overlay-routing services and whether it offers
   storage functions.  The behaviors of each type of nodes and their
   possible necessities are analyzed.  This document is dedicated to be
   a reference for clarifying some controversial terms in P2PSIP working
   group, such as "client", "low-function peer", etc.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
