Turnstile P2P Protocol and Client

This is a research project consisting of a unique protocol design including 15K lines of C++ code.

Turnstile is a peer-to-peer client using a custom protocol named YAWP (Yet Another Wonderful Protocol). YAWP implements a network providing distribution of data, secure real-time communication with trusted and untrusted users, and scalability. YAWP aims to conquer problems experienced with existing peer-to-peer protocols and their susceptibility to attack and limited widespread usage. The YAWP protocol is largely based on the usage of a distributed hash table to effectively locate data quickly in a dynamic network of computers.

The entire project including client, documentation, presentation, and resources is located on GitHub.
