Information about the package, n2n, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The n2n package is designed for, A layer-two peer-to-peer virtual private network.
Package Name:
n2n
Summary:
A layer-two peer-to-peer virtual private network
Description:
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.
