One of my primary reasons for writing this is to support multiple machines (possibly many portable devices like laptops) on the same network peering with each other so that if any one node that's currently online has the package someone is looking for it can be retrieved from a node on the local subnet before traversing some border router (which usually results in data being sent out some slower and more expensive link).

Need to investigate whether I can do this via an existing protocol like ICP, HTCP or whether I need to implement some new custom protocol.
