# Odin

**Odin** is a decentralized peer-to-peer application via the **BitTorrent**
network stack. For sharing data, a **pns://** URI is provided, which consists basically of a peer
id, which enables others to find your node on the network.

## General

The basic characteristics of the app are decentralized, respect of personal data,
open source, free of charge, transparent, free of advertising and legally impeccable.

## Documentation

**Odin** is a client server implementation and based on the BitTorrent network.

The application itself requires the **IPv6** protocol to function properly.
When you are behind a router you might be able to switch to the **IPv6** protocol and make the
necessary settings, so that your service is globally reachable (Port Forwarding).

### Port Forwarding

Port forwarding allows you to specify that all communications received on a certain port are
forwarded directly to your device. You set port forwarding rules up on your router. The following
list provides information which might be required for the port forwarding.

- **Interface** IPv6
Note: Only IPv6 is supported, because a direct connection between two peers can only be
established when they use the same IP interface
- **Port** 5001
- **Protocol** TCP
Note: The protocol is TCP. The direct connection between two peers will be established via a
secure TCP connection, protected by a self-signed certificate.
- **Application** Odin
Note: Usually can be any name

### Concept

The application connect to **BitTorrent** network and publish its addresses, so that it can be
found by other peers via a unique identifier (pid). This peer identifier () is also used
for marking the content via the**pns:///** URI. (Note: is a content identifier)
