+Ouroboros is a __peer-to-peer transport network__ built on a new
+__recursive network paradigm__ built according to a __UNIX design
+philosphy__. The aim is to provide a __secure__ and __private__
+networking experience and __simplify writing distributed software__
+and networking libraries. It provides a __very simple API__, enabling
+__unicast__ and __multicast__ services.
-Ouroboros is compatible with TCP/IP and can be overlayed over UDP and
-Ethernet. IP applications can be tunneled over Ouroboros. Ouroboros
-provides its own name resolution, reliability mechanisms, routing
-algorithms, and (soon) congestion control.
