Dev:Forest - an overlay network for distributed applications

This page describes the high level architecture for the scalable network game system, focusing on the major system components, their interfaces and functionality.

System Data

Decide on what data we want to maintain at a system level and how it should be organized (at least logically). One possibility is to include a DHT that would have one node at each site in the network and that would store various kinds of global system data. Use one-hop routing, that is expect every site to know about all other sites.

Common Interface Elements

Network State Management

Include neighbor discovery, topology maintenance, etc.
