The 4,5,7 -- depending on who you ask --layer model is nothing but pseudoscience. https://ouroboros.rocks/docs/overview/

Well, fair enough. Let me explain a bit how it would be done. Finding the "first packets" is not as easy as you may think. The two fields in the network protocol that matter are the destination address (DST) and the endpoint ID (E

Sure. It's an odds game. But, do you have a counter-example where sending the source address in every packet has better privacy than not doing so? As another fun addition, we investigated an algorithm to distribute the actual data pack

I'm sorry to disappoint, but we are not looking at commercializing... Ouroboros will remain free "as in beer" and free "as in freedom". I do take "spiffy" as a compliment :)

In most of our Ouroboros deployments (meaning: in the lab) we did just that. We use a raw packet interface (bpf on mac, raw sockets on linux) and send Ouroboros traffic on top of Ethernet. The fun thing is that when we compared throughput t

I looked at Quantumgate and it looks interesting :) Thanks for the pointer!

I'm one of the developers. Thank you all for your interest in this project. This website is still under construction, and we're well aware that it's severely lacking in information, I'll try to find some time to update e

Sorry, my response was rather cryptic. I was more referring to the interface having both an L2 and L3 address. From an academic perspective, I agree with OP that assigning the L3 address to the interface probably causes more problems than i

Any architecture that needs two different identifiers for the same thing is very likely in need of some revision.
