There are a few moving parts in Vertex: PTCP is a protocol which is nearly identical to TCP, but which runs over UDP. This lets Q2Q penetrate most NAT configurations. JUICE ([JU]ice [I]s [C]oncurrent [E]vents) is a very simple but immensely flexible protocol which forms the basis of the high-level aspects of Q2Q. vertex is a command line tool which exposes a few features useful in many situations (such as registration and authentication). </longdescription> </pkgmetadata>
