I've recently been working on a P2P program that doesn't fit into any of the categories described in this article: http://yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au/~pfh/circle/ I hope to have more details up on this site in a few weeks. The basic idea is to divide a hashtable over all nodes in the network, and connect them up in such a way that the node with the information you want can be found easily. It is (theoretically) both very scalable and totally decentralized.
