+2.8 Alpine
+
+The ALPINE Network is a peer based application and network infrastructure 
designed for decentralized 
+information location/discovery. This is open source software released under 
the GNU Lesser General Public License.
+
+
+There are a number of known problems with current peer based searching 
implementations. ALPINE is designed 
+to eliminate or minimize these problems using an alternate protocol and 
implementation. Specific features 
+which provide for a robust peer based searching infrastructure are:
+
+      High concurrent connection support (over 10,000).
+      Adaptive configuration for enhanced accuracy and quality of responses.
+      True peer to peer network. No hierarchy, no central servers.
+      Low communication overhead (small UDP packets, no forwarding).
+      Module support to allow extensions to query and transport operations.
+
+These features are used to implement an adaptive social discovery mechanism 
suitable for use in large peer based networks.
