berkus / librouting

Experimental routing library which attempts to provide a consistent API.

P2P routing

Routing layer exploiting different routing methods for higher availability p2p networks configuration.

• Social routing
• Identity Hash routing
• Compact routing

The reason for this library is to provide single interface for multitude of routing strategies. Ideally the library would support combination of different strategies at the same time for better reachability.

Every client can incorporate the routing mechanisms supported by the library and provide it to other clients, making it truly a peer to peer network.

Additional mechanisms may be used for discovering the nodes:

• Bonjour/Zeroconf
• Netsukuku
• DHT
• DNS
• Dedicated tracking servers IP
