A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing." ####################################################################### ====== 2) Bug ====== The asynchronous mode used for the UDP socket is handled through FIONREAD. If an empty UDP packet (zero bytes) is received the program enters in an endless loop where other UDP packets cannot handled and the CPU reaches the 100% of usage.
