Decentralized Networking

Most networking software is centralized, where all devices must connect to a central server to form a network.

EasyTier is decentralized, with no distinction between server and client. As long as one device can communicate with any node in the virtual network, it can join the virtual network.

Two-Node Networking

Assume the network topology of two nodes is as follows:

  1. Execute on Node A:

    sh
    sudo easytier-core -i 10.144.144.1
  2. Execute on Node B:

    sh
    sudo easytier-core -d -p udp://22.1.1.1:11010

    Here, -d represents DHCP mode, and EasyTier will automatically obtain an IP address.

Three-Node Networking

Based on the previous two-node networking example, the third node C can join the virtual network by connecting to either Node A or Node B.

Assume it connects to Node A, the network topology is as follows:

Execute on Node C:

sh
sudo easytier-core -d -p udp://22.1.1.1:11010

Then C can communicate with A and B through the virtual network.
