TeleHash - Distributed JSON - http://telehash.org/

==================================================

* org/		telehash.org contents (all docs so far)

* perl/		test implementations and utils in Perl

* c/			basic test stuff in C

* ruby/ 		rudimentary testing in Ruby

* erlang/		basic announcer in erlang

* switchd/	plans to create a utility daemon to do the dirty work

* diag/	 	graffle/diagrams of protocol states

What tech does one need to implement a switch?

==============================================

*	UDP

*	JSON

*	SHA1

*	XOR'ing the 160 bits of a SHA1 hash

*	handling both network events and timers (and possibly interactions with the "app" it's serving)

What does a switch need to do?

==============================

	- listen for UDP packets (off a random port)

	- send something to an initial seed to discover its public IP:PORT

	- announce itself and try to discover other switches nearby to it

	- maintain the "lines" it has active with any other switches

		- validate sender/status

		- track bytes sent/received

	- answer requests for nearby switches

	- accept "taps" from other switches

	- match incoming signals against any active taps and forward them

	- that's plenty :)
