For the "POC" we are using UDP. UDP only can send small packets of ~64kb, therefore, it can be used for a chat but is too slow to download big files. We have sacrified speed to increase anonymity and privacity. We have "tested" it in a small group of people and for this reason we can not say if it works or not, but in theory it works!
"tested"? Any source code to show?
I missed that part completely. What does it mean that "UDP is too slow because of packet size of 64 kb" ? To me, it seems an ugly claim. Do you know that ethernet will fragment it in pieces of ~1 kb, and the most common segment size on the Internet is around 500 bytes ? TCP maximum segment size is also 16 bit long.. Your proposal requires a modification of the most transport protocols of the internet, and IPv6 with jumbo frames? Really, take a look onto DC nets, they are quite old but far superior to your proposal (but they have some drawbacks). I see too much approximation, I'm sorry.
