Q2Q

Q2q is a protocol for:
  • opening authenticated connections, even through NAT
  • allowing a user to reliably demonstrate their identity (for distributed authentication)
  • receiving real-time data directly from other users

Q2Q provides a mechanism for a user to decide whether they want to expose their IP address to a third party before accepting a peer-to-peer connection.

It is byte-stream oriented and application-agnostic. Any peer-to-peer application can use Q2Q to open connections and deliver messages.

Divmod Vertex is the Divmod implemention of Q2Q.
