Yggdrasil Network

# Yggdrasil

Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6

network. It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms and

allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with

other Yggdrasil nodes. Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet

connectivity - it also works over IPv4.

Although Yggdrasil shares many similarities with [cjdns](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns), it employs a different routing

algorithm based on a globally-agreed spanning tree and greedy routing in a

metric space, and aims to implement some novel local backpressure routing

techniques. In theory, Yggdrasil should scale well on networks with

internet-like topologies.
