+Ouroboros is a (prototype) **distributed system** for packet network
+communications. It consists of a C **library** that allows you to
+write ouroboros-native programs and a bunch of **daemons** that allow
+you to easily create your own (overlay) networks using ordinary PC
+hardware (Linux, FreeBSD or MacOS X).
+
+The **Ouroboros library** implements the **application API** (the
+Ouroboros alternative to POSIX sockets) and the **management API**
+(the Ouroboros alternative to things like netlink sockets). All
+**end-to-end transport functions** are implemented in the application
+library, such as **reliability** (packet ordering, retransmission logic
+etc) and transport **encryption**.
+
+The Ouroboros daemons can be thought of as **software routers** that
+ can be connected to each other. Each one has an address,
+ and they forward packets among each other. The daemons also implement
+ a Distributed Hash Table, so the network has its own internal
+ name-to-address resolution.
