IPFS is a new peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol. edit / delete

A DHT-based CDN. Neat idea; unlikely to be adopted; curious as to what the performance would actually be like in practice.

[SaveMGO] Tactical Revival Action edit / delete

Reverse-engineering the server for Metal Gear Online 1/2 -- there was an excellent presentation about this at 31C3 that explained how they did it. It's a peer-to-peer game, so the server actually isn't too complicated. AG0907 students will probably find it interesting to see what a real-world matchmaking protocol looks like.

Under the Surface of Azeroth: A Network Baseline and Security Analysis of Blizzard's World of Warcraft edit / delete
