I'm looking to write a decentralised application that would run over some kind of peer to peer framework. I have fairly limited requirements:

  • search for peers offering a particular service
  • advertise services
  • connect directly to other nodes
  • operate across NATs (so support relay and rendevous)

I know about JXTA, but what other options are there? JXTA seems like a bit of a nightmare to implement - is there anything else that maybe offers a less complete protocol stack in exchange for simplicity and ease of deployment?

Thanks

Sounds like something XMPP (Jabber) could solve. Its not true P2P (it has servers), but the servers are inter-linked and mature.
