27 27  Mutual-aid networks mean that they aim to be collaborative, through open-source licensing models, avoiding lock-ins such as walled gardens and enable interoperability between networks, communities and protocols.

31 31  Peer-to-peer networks let computers talk directly to each other instead of going through a central boss server. Every participant both gives and receives information. This makes the system more flexible, harder to break, and easier to grow.

35 35  Local-first communication networks keep your data on your own device or nearby computers first, instead of sending everything to a big central server. The system still works even when the internet is slow or completely gone. Sharing with others happens later, when a connection is available.

39 39  Routing-agnostic networks don’t care //how// or //when// messages travel, only that they eventually get there. Information can wait, take different paths, or hop between devices until a connection appears. This means the network keeps working even during outages or bad connections.

60 60  P4P networks emerged around 2010, merging qualities of distributed ledgers (such as blockchain) with version control (such as git) and torrent-like data sharing. The term P4P however is more recent yet can trace it's roots back to a scuttlebutt post in 2020.
