Vertex is an implementation of the Q2Q protocol (sort of like P2P, but one
|
|
better). There are a few moving parts in Vertex:
|
|
|
|
* PTCP: a protocol which is nearly identical to TCP, but which runs over
|
|
UDP. This lets Q2Q penetrate most NAT configurations.
|
|
* JUICE ([JU]ice [I]s [C]oncurrent [E]vents): a very simple but immensely
|
|
flexible protocol which forms the basis of the high-level aspects of Q2Q
|
|
* vertex: a command line tool which exposes a few features useful in many
|
|
situations (such as registration and authentication)
|
|
|
|
The Q2Q network has some decentralized features (there is no one server or
|
|
company which can control all Q2Q addresses) and features of centralization
|
|
(addresses beneath a particular domain are issued by a server for that domain;
|
|
once issued, some activities require the server to be contacted again, while
|
|
others do not). Vertex includes an identity server capable of hosting Q2Q
|
|
addresses.
