Free Communications For Everyone. Each node only cares for what is being received. No hardware identification, no transmitter plain identification. only packets matter. transmissions are anonymous. whenever an address is needed to reply to a packet, it is encrypted inside the packet.

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis.

Commotion is an open-source communication tool that uses wireless devices to create decentralized mesh networks on routers, mobiles, and desktops.

A disaster-resilient communications network powered by the sun.

Communications by Freenet nodes are encrypted and are routed through other nodes to make it extremely difficult to determine who is requesting the information and what its content is, data is shared by all users on the network.

IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It is like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects.

Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6 and IPv4 with fast convergence properties. It is based on the ideas in DSDV, AODV and Cisco's EIGRP, but is designed to work well not only in wired networks but also in wireless mesh networks, and has been extended with support for overlay networks.

Batman advanced is a new approach to wireless networking which does no longer operate on the IP basis.

Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh Protocol for nRF51 Nordic chips.

An encrypted IPv6 network using public-key cryptography for address allocation and a distributed hash table for routing.

The first completely connection-based open source mesh on top of Bluetooth Low Energy 4.1.

A mesh routing layer for end-to-end encrypted networking and a framework for distributed applications designed to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack.
