James Gilberd <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: GDN
System name: gdn
Type: non-GNU
Description:
The GDN server is an implementation of the GDN protocol and services.
The GDN protocol is a diffuse networking, or peer-to-peer, protocol
meant to create a network that empowers casual users for the sharing of
enormous digital libraries with adamantine security. A GDN protocol
packet is cryptographically signed using RSA and MD5 and contains a
short RSA key identifier as a source node address. The rest of the
packet is a multicast group identifier and data. The GDN server will
allow key creation and will verify packets, and eventually use a trust
system. The GDN protocol will require another protocol for the
arrangement of multicast group routes. This protocol will probably be
like PIM-SM. GDN services will be chat and file sharing. With the use
of multicasting and caching, mass downloading of popular files will not
slow down the uploading servers, but actually make uploading more
efficient. The GDN server will map chat to IRC to allow chatting from
an IRC client. The GDN server will allow control of its internal
functions and the file sharing service through an HTTP/HTML user
interface. The GDN server will use tools from a sister project, Lamp,
to manage digital libraries.
Source code can be found at http://web.em.ca/~tomg/tmp/gdn-0.1.0.tar.gz
Other Software Required:
Liboop, Open SSL, Boehm's GC library, Glib, a web browser, and the Lamp
tools.
