The P2P network is open to any developer. It's just the Bitcoin protocol over TCP. How you access it is up to you. You could write your own client from scratch, use an existing library, or run a full node.
The tricky part is how much time you want to spend writing that code. I used Ryan's relay-federation bridge (github.com/p2ppsr/relay-federation) as a starting point and added my own endpoint to pull full block data. But that's just one approach .. the network itself doesn't care how you connect.
All this said - when teranode fully instates and enables massive throughput and all the miners are using it, I'm not sure how long we'll p2p availability (2 years? completely guessing). And that is a problem we actually want. Getting massive transactions on chain is our primary objective.
