By the way, you didn't say anything about my library computer concept. Would be nice if you can give some feedback on that.
Because that means having three nodes act as one? The big node only needs a relay to get signals out of reach.
And we could just have dedicated address servers occasionally. It's a good idea, I have no idea how I would get this network working anyways.
There still is a humongous problem with latency. Communication is the most vital aspect of any civilization, down to both social and war fronts. (Hell, the gps is a military invention.) A form of communication that is neither low latency or easily modifiable will cause very large problems in the structure of whatever society you are trying to create. In fact, this is the very reason why most sci-fi authors cheat, so to speak, when it comes to communication.
