Ouroboros (abbreviated as "O7s") is a work-in-progress Internetwork prototype created by Dimitri Staessens and Sander Vrijders at IMEC / Ghent University early 2016.
Objectives
What we need to clear right out of the way is that our main driver to create Ouroboros was not to solve any specific perceived engineering problems within TCP/IP. It is also not developed to add some functionality that we perceive as missing in TCP/IP.
Our main driver is to figure out the fundamental laws that govern packet networks as a whole.
