ZeroTier provides a virtual Ethernet switch with +planet-wide scope, offer L2 (and L3 but we dont use L3) services; thees +look like Ethernet frames but MTUs are at least 2800 bytes, and are +protected by strong crypto, which ensures messages are not forged, +snooped, or replayed. + +As of this date (July 21, 2017), this work uses the libzerotiercore +library available from github.com:ZeroTier/ZeroTierOne. You will need +to use the dev branch to build, as the seperate library is not available +in master branch. + +An RFC documenting the transport is located in the main nanomsg RFC +repository. + +Needless to say, this is all HIGHLY experimental. + +This work is being funded by Capitar IT Group BV <info@capitar.com>. |
