Can you communicate the value of Octelium in 25 words or less?

This is the correct capitalisation.

Thanks. Made my day.

Mycoria is built for resilience - so not relying on the current Internet backbone working flawlessly.

Even if the current Internet works "normally", many users of similar network have reported better connectivity with the overlay network routing. Eg. routing on the IANA Internet is highly influenced.

If you let Mycoria generate a config for you, it will include your current public Interfaces on the device, so this will only be true for servers. Mycoria does not rely on IANA addresses, but uses them to improve the network structure automatically: Finding better routes between routers over the IANA Internet.

For the use case given by Zrok, Mycoria is very similar.

Nothing can access your device by default. You will have to define services and add "friends" (your other devices) to allow them to access.

Latency is considered in routing.

Every router announces itself on the network. Routers can optionally publish their IANA IP addresses.

Buckets live on the routers themselves.

Interesting idea - thanks! Will think about this more.

Thanks for the feedback. I will re-evaluate.

It's quite fast. Especially if you host a server near you and connect to it.

If nobody knows who you are, you are still anonymous, even if there is an ID.

With private addresses (in the future) this will also be solved, as Mycoria will be able to temporary addresses / IDs.

I understand what you mean. Yes, the technology can do that. I was thinking about the WireGuard as a software in itself.

Thanks for taking the time for this feedback.

This is what I hope to solve with the private addresses: These are not geo-marked and not routable. Eg. they are randomly generated and cannot be attributed to a geographic location (easily).

Probably - depending on your use case. Mycoria is still more or less MVP though.

Veilid is new to me, will have to read about it first. Thanks the pointer!

Switch labels are effectively interface IDs on the servers, there is no data to be stored.

Geo encoding simply improves routing to unknown routers, kind of as a baseline structure to the whole network.

Yes, this is correct.

Mycoria has in integrated firewall for this, just in case that information got lost somewhere.

This also means that devices of the company will help other devices of the company to reach their destination, adding to resilience in outages and emergencies.

You can of course build bridges between these networks. This definitely something that is planned.
