[opensource-dev] TPV & opensim

[Dzonatas Sol]

Given this setup. It would look like this:

[ viewer <-> opensim ] <-> [ opensim <-> viewer ]

That's peer to peer.

Let's say somebody wants to setup a 3D website inside one. They don't 
want to go through ICANN because it's "virtual" just like "virtual 
linden" currency.

They want "http://media.on.a.prim.region.open.sim" as their website.

They point and click, create object, select media prefs, enter website 
address, they get the TLD automatically, no hassle to reg with ICANN for 
every prim they create. And, no need to have a static server, any other 
simulator may connect to their simulator and find their website.  That 
way someone may "buy" their prim, take it to another world, and use it 
there, and the website still works and knows how to resolve addresses.
