Goals

Project goals

Create and approve the complete specification of the BOXP protocol.
Create specifications of the service subprotocols and multiple wide use subprotocols, including IM, VoIP and CTP.
Develop an universal, cross-platform implementation of the protocol.
Offer a painless adoption model.
Gain support from big IT companies.
Form IONH and raise funds.

Universal peer-to-peer application level protocol for the secure transportation of data packets.
Extensible functionality by higher level protocols -- subprotocols.
Single delegated user identification and authentication network.
Not dependant on IP and DNS, users are identified by User ID, sessions are identified by Session ID.
Transported via any available protocol (e.g. TCP, UDP, DCCP or inside a HTTP request)
Binary, machine-oriented format.

Subprotocol of BOXP for text and multimedia content sharing.
Replacement of HTTP, formats like RDF, Atom, older protocols like NNTP, Gopher.
Not relying only on client-server architecture.
Content identified by owner (not always same as author) and ID.
Content separated from description and interface.
Distributed downloads.
Very extensible search options.
Search via other peers, not single engine.
Subscription functions as it should (content is delivered to the subscriber when it's created, instead of subscriber polling for new content)
Multiple versions of the same content available. (e.g. different formats, different languages)
