How does this differ from cjdns?

  I suspect that the goals are slightly different. The thing that immediately stands out is the routing. It looks like cjdns is a traditional-ish multi-hop network. The DHT routing table allows you to map out a route to peer A via peer B, R, & D. What wireguard and nebula allow is for the underlying network to figure out most of the routing, and effectively create a massive point to-point network. whilst you can have concentrators/gateways, the idea is that most of the traffic goes direct from peer to peer. This can reduce load considerably.

    I think cjdns allows arbitrary peering, so you can certainly set up a full mesh if you want point-to-point traffic, with multiple hops only for cases where the underlying network topology requires it.

      Right, cjdns and Yggdrasil will both forward on behalf of other nodes where no direct paths are available.
