Genealogy Network Transfer Protocol (GNTP)
Internet media type	{{#property:P1163}}
Type of format	Genealogy peer-to-peer

The Genealogy Network Transfer Protocol (GNTP) is an unfinished protocol for a peer-to-peer genealogy network that was not completed because of resource constraints. The idea was to allow genealogists to share GEDCOM files in much the same way that music and other files are distributed on other peer-to-peer networks.
