Bootstrapper nodes as relay server #1734

About your IPv6 pull request? |
It is a small conflict, just the number of version. |
Original title: "A idea that improve current performance of connecting : based on the fact that many users are passive users, while only a few users are active users ( means having public ip), a picture or any optional file uploaded by user A(passive) can be downloaded by user B (also passive), only when a kind and active user C is willing to seed this file of user A and the user B luckly find user C through trackers. However, these active and kind users are so few compared to the number of passive users ( I would say 99.99999% of users in china is passive users). A suggestion is that the zero tracker ( bootstrapper tracker) can aslo pay a role like a relay server in software Syncthing which just help user B connect to A." |
Reference Introduction for N2N n2n is a layer-two peer-to-peer virtual private network (VPN) which allows users to exploit features typical of P2P applications at network instead of application level. This means that users can gain native IP visibility (e.g. two PCs belonging to the same n2n network can ping each other) and be reachable with the same network IP address regardless of the network where they currently belong. In a nutshell, as OpenVPN moved SSL from application (e.g. used to implement the https protocol) to network protocol, n2n moves P2P from application to network level. The main n2n design features are:
The n2n architecture is based on two components:
