go library to build distributed systems

Mesh implements a gossip protocol that provide membership, unicast, and broadcast functionality with eventually-consistent semantics. In CAP terms, it is AP: highly-available and partition-tolerant.

Mesh works in a wide variety of network setups, including thru NAT and firewalls, and across clouds and datacenters. It works in situations where there is only partial connectivity, i.e. data is transparently routed across multiple hops when there is no direct connection between peers. It copes with partitions and partial network failure. It can be easily bootstrapped, typically only requiring knowledge of a single existing peer in the mesh to join. It has built-in shared-secret authentication and encryption. It scales to on the order of 100 peers, and has no dependencies.
