In any distributed application, the communication between the distributed processes/nodes of the distributed systems is essential for both reliability and efficiency matters. In this work we address this issue for distributed applications based on JXTA protocols. After a careful examination of the current version of JXTA protocols, we observed the need for improving the original JXTA protocols, such as pipe services, to ensure reliable communication between peer nodes and the discovery and presence service to increase the performance of the applications. The re-implemented protocols have been validated in practice by deploying a P2P network using nodes of PlanetLab platform and testing each of the extended protocols using this real P2P network.
