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
