[p2p-hackers] OPeN Library Software Release

[Aaron Harwood]

Dear P2P hackers,

OPeN stands for Open Peer-to-Peer Network.

The OPeN library allows developers to build peer-to-peer applications  
with pluggable services and protocols. The OPeN architecture defines  
a Connectivity layer, a Core Services layer and an Applications  
layer. Applications make use of services, while services make use of  
protocols. Both services and protocols follow a generic API which  
allows them to be readily reused in a variety of applications.

The goal is to bring together peer-to-peer protocol, service and  
application developers while abstracting their implementation and  
problem details from each other. This integration allows complex peer- 
to-peer applications to be built and promotes interoperability across  
different applications.

The distribution includes two protocols, one protocol is based on the  
Chord algorithm and the other protocol is a connection caching  
protocol called Floc. The distribution also includes a data service  
for reading and writing data objects.

The software and more information is found here:

Group is found here:

We have a wiki to collect experience with use of the software:

Please feel free to contribute to the OPeN project. We would be very  
happy to assist you to get started.
