FAST IP ROUTING NETWORK

fast 2 hop ip routing network.

focus points:

- two hops (requestor -> middle peer -> delivering peer)

- high performance throughput (with only two hops and symmetric nature, network can reach near ISP level performance)

- hiding requestor ip from end service

out of scope:

- maximum anonymity

--> while providing minimum anonymity by hiding ip address of requestor and providing access to dynamic ip pool, focus of the network is not to provide guaranteed anonymity

symmetric network:

- every participant sends and receives equal amount of data with each of its peers

- any peer can ban any other peer. bans are always two sided due to symmetric nature of network

- every peer keeps list of all known other peers and sends them on request to any other peer

- if peer A downloads 1 GB of data from peer B, then peer B has right to download 1 GB of data through peer A. if peer A does not deliver, peer B should ban peer A.

- every peer can expect similar service level from its connected peers. network should stabilize itself to download speeds which can be delivered both ways. for example if peer A downloads through route A with average speed of 10Mbps, then it should also be able to upload to requesting peer with same speed.
