P2P Grid Software
CanoPeer (formerly known as Lightweight Bartering Grid, or LBG for short) is a complete P2P Grid Open Source software, 100% developed in Java (J2SE 5.0). CanoPeer is the first P2P Grid middleware with embedded BitTorrent support for data transfers.

A note on the filtering of BitTorrent traffic
Note (added on 16th July 2007).
The research work described in this paper proposes to combine
P2P Grid (i.e. exchange of computing time) and P2P file sharing (i.e. BitTorrent) technologies.
As P2P Grids are designed to operate on (home, desktop) PC at the edge of the Internet, there is an interesting consequence to using software making legal use of BitTorrent such as, for example, our proposed P2P Grid software or the BOINC Volunteer Grid software ("With BitTorrent fully in place by clients and servers late-2007, great savings are expected in the telecommunication cost structures of the current server user base.").
Fact: legitimate, legal BitTorrent-generated network traffic may be currently transported by Internet Service Providers in order to distribute data files intended to be processed by algorithms (neither watched, nor listened to) as part, notably, of scientific experiments (which are nowadays the biggest users of P2P Grids).
Corollary: filtering out out all P2P traffic (even only BitTorrent traffic) would prevent scientific experiments to take place.
End of note.
