JXTA is building a virtual network overlay on top of the physical
network with the goal of abstracting the physical network topology (NAT, DMZ).
It's like virtual memory vs physical memory for the network. At some point, we
will want to embedd this virtual network concept within the kernel.

ZeroConf is auto-ip and dynamic DNS capability that let your PC find a camera service within a local subnet. JXTA lets you build an Internet scale overlay network where application developers can carve their own virtual subnet irrelevant of where these systems are located (NAT, FW). Within each of these virtual domains, peers can discover their published services and communicate (1-1, 1-n, n-1).
