In XP network configuration, we focus exclusively on the construction of the overlay; applicationlayer
metrics are the subject of future work. In addition, we do not assume that our
underlying network is a mobile, ad-hoc network. Our data does not provide location
information, therefore our nodes are either connected to the Internet and can
reach all other connected nodes, or are disconnected from the Internet and unable
to participate in overlay construction. Finally, we assume that our nodes meet the
bandwidth and connectivity characteristics required to serve as a supernode.
