The release of the reference implementation of the Yggdrasil protocol 0.4 has been published, allowing the deployment of a separate decentralized private IPv6 network over the existing global network, using end-to-end encryption to protect privacy. Any existing applications that support IPv6 can work over the Yggdrasil network. The implementation is written in Go and is distributed under the LGPLv3 license. It supports Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Ubiquiti EdgeRouter platforms. <\/p>\n
Yggdrasil is developing a new routing concept for creating a global decentralized network, where nodes can connect either directly to one another in a mesh network (for example, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) or interact over existing IPv6 or IPv4 networks (network on top of network). A distinctive feature of Yggdrasil is its self-organization, operating without the need for explicit routing configuration \u2014 route information is calculated based on the node's location in relation to other nodes. Devices are addressed using a standard IPv6 address that does not change when a node moves (Yggdrasil utilizes an unused address range of 0200::\/7). <\/p>\n
The entire Yggdrasil network is viewed not as a collection of disparate subnets, but as a single structured spanning tree with a single 'root,' where each node has one parent and one or more children. This tree-like structure allows constructing a route to the destination node relative to the source node, using a 'locator' mechanism that determines the optimal path to the node from the root. <\/p>\n
Information about the tree is distributed among the nodes and is not stored centrally. A distributed hash table (DHT) is used for routing data exchange, through which a node can retrieve all routing information to another node. The network itself provides only end-to-end encryption (transit nodes cannot determine the content), but does not ensure anonymity (when connected via the internet, peer nodes that interact directly can identify the real IP address, so it is recommended to connect nodes through Tor or I2P for anonymity). <\/p>\n
It is noted that despite the project being in the alpha development stage, it is already stable enough for daily use but does not guarantee backward compatibility between releases. For Yggdrasil 0.4, the community supports a set of services including a platform for hosting Linux containers for hosting websites, the YaCy search engine, a communication Matrix, an IRC server, DNS, a VoIP system, a BitTorrent tracker, a connection point map, a gateway to IPFS, and proxies for accessing Tor, I2P, and clearnet networks. server<\/a> The new routing scheme is not compatible with previous Yggdrasil releases. <\/p>\n
