title: Could AKKA remoted actors be a used in a p2p swarm context?
body: <p>Most of the use cases I've seen for <a href="http://akka.io/">Akka</a> actors are highly performing multicore servers or local clusters. </p>
  
  <p>I'm curious about it's applicability to more remote <strong>high latency</strong> and <strong>highly failing</strong> swarm structures such as p2p networks. </p>
  
  <p>The application I have in mind would have rules about the trustability and or resourcefullness of the swarm nodes giving them some status, as bittorrent would. It would also need to be able to propogate transactions across the swarm as well as possible, but <strong>eventual or partial consistency would be acceptable</strong>. Scalability would be a higher priority than consistency.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is AKKA a potential solution</strong> for building something like this? Would it have any <strong>specific advantages or disadvantages</strong> over other approaches.</p>
