+ ## Identity
4
+
5
+ A idendity is a collection of devices in the network.
6
+ Generally a identity maps one-to-one to a actual human.
7
+ Any device can create a identity, and invite a second device to the identity.
8
+ Devices with the same identity should always try to create a direct connection to eachother.

10
+ ## Device
11
+
12
+ A device is a node inside of the network.
13
+ It has a identity attached to it, unless it's a beacon.
14
+
15
+ ## Beacon
16
+
17
+ A beacon is a node with a fully open nat.
18
+ It is used as a way to accelerate bootstraping of known nodes.
19
+ If a identity indicates that it uses that beacon, al devices must try to connect to that beacon whenever possible.
20
+ Then if a device wants to find an identity it wil look up the beacons of this identity.
21
+ If a device of the identity is online it should be connected to one of the beacons.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
