Is there any information available about the Levin protocol?
It seems to be used for the peer to peer communication.
Things like:
- The working of the protocol?
- What are the benefits? Why was it chosen for Monero?
- Is it used in any other product?
I did find the following information:
- Some information about the history you can find here.
- It is part of the so called 'epee' library.
- The creator is a Russian programmer called Andrey N. Sabelnikov, who seems to be well known for creating a botnet.
- The original code is located on Github.
- It doesn't seem to be used anywhere else besides some cryptocurrencies with a similar background as Monero.
- On the site of the Boolberry cryptocurrency you can find some design information.
