RE: Top 20 Alternatives: Maidsafe (SAFE)

in #beyondbitcoin • 8 years ago

I understand the network will not work on TCP/IP, but the underlying UDP. I'm not sure what that means, but do you? What is the reason and the benefit? Will it allow to bypass some restrictions of the current internet? Will it be faster?

    Here is some info I found on a good blog post about the Safe Network Architecture:

    Sitting on top of the hardware and network layers of the existing Internet infrastructure, the SAFE Network utilises the UDP transport protocol, with a Connected Reliable Udp eXchange (CRUX) sitting a layer above. The combination of these two layers, and the Routing layer above, provides the reliability and congestion control of TCP while also helping to deal with the tricky issue of NAT traversal.

    Yeah in other more general articles, TCP offers error correction and UDP offers speed.

    I read it, thanks. Here is a nice paragraph for a layman like me:

    Drive is a cross platform virtual drive, utilised by both API’s, that presents the network as a native drive on the users computer.
