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.

better). There are a few moving parts in Vertex:
