Peer to peer networking toolkit

Providing

• TCP and UDP based, NIO socket communications
• a simple communications interface (RPC, multiplexed streams)
• UPnP based port-forwarding configuration

• makes peers behind home networks (NATs) accessible from the outside

• high-level functions for message and password hashing
• automatic local network discovery using UDP broadcast messages

In Progress

• generic bootstrap server for P2P apps
• heartbeat based failure detection to recognize dropped or unavailable peers
• random walk based search and sampling
• localized flooding to peers
• distributed hash table formation

• ring based topology

• generic greedy routing

• for ring based DHT ala chord and others

• basic distributed clustering

Planned

• high-level DHT storage interface
• content based routing using graph queries
