+Ouroboros stems from our deep interest in computer networks, tackling
+some long standing problems in IP networks such as achieving clean
+fragmentation, routing scalability, efficient congestion control and
+simple multicast. Instead of trying to tackle these issues in
+isolation, we subscribe to the view that the entire TCP/IP design is
+*fundamentally* broken, and a holistic approach is needed to build
+efficient packet networks.
