`
`Yallcast is a set of protocols for host-based content distribution. It allows a group of hosts that are receiving/sending content
`to dynamically self-organize themselves into a distribution topology tunneled over unicast and, where available, multicast
`IP. So organized, the hosts can efficiently distribute content synchronously (as with the mbone) or asynchronously (as with
`netnews).
`
`The first and enduring goal of this project is to create an open-source software base upon which a wide range of content
`distribution applications can be built. The second goal is to use the knowledge gained from the software to create IETF
`standards for content distribution. We envision these standards as being positioned as "lower-middleware"---above
`TCP/UDP but below other middleware such as messaging, mail, channels, etc.
