+mesh network
+
+A network in which there is no clear difference between clients and servers.
+Instead each computer is a peer and does processing, data storage and routing
+of network traffic. In the ideal mesh network data is content addressable,
+such that it may be seeded by any peer, and data ownership is regulated via
+cryptography.
+
+Due to the lack of bottlenecks (servers with limited capacity), in theory
+mesh networks are far more scalable than client/server, and may be the
+eventual form that the internet takes. The existence of giant and highly
+inefficient data centers within the current cloud computing paradigm is
+really an attempt to solve the limited server capacity problem, but this
+may eventually be superceded by mesh.
+
+Existing examples of large mesh networks are freifunk and guifinet. Common
+mesh protocols are batman, BMX, OLSR and Babel.
+
+Contrast with client server.
