layer (O7s)
The Ouroboros model is subdivided in layers (lowercase), with similar intent and to improve upon the TCP/IP model (5 layers) or OSI (7 layers) model.

Layer (O7s)
Ouroboros is multi-Layered (capitalized), allowing networks to overlay each other. There are 2 types of Layers: Unicast Layers and Broadcast Layers, consisting of Unicast IPCPs and Broadcast IPCPs respectively. We are aware that the different uses of the word layer/Layer can be initially confusing, and have considered other options such as stratum, but for the time being, we stick to layer/Layer.

Whatevercast (RINA)
A proposed concept for the unification of unicast, anycast, multicast and broadcast. The proposed API is allocate(whatevercastname) and the network will resolve the correct set for you based on the whatevercast name and a set of rules associated with it. Our attempt at implementing this concept led to the Ouroboros multicast conjecture.
