# YaCy Network Unit Definition
# ----------------------------
# There is not only a single global YaCy network, but there can be also separated networks
# This file describes the properties of the network, how it is bootstraped, if it is moderated
# and so on. It is also possible to describe authentification methods for in-protocol communication
# To distinguish between index areas where the shared web index is for a intranet or the public internet,
# we distinguish local and global networks. Each network type can have different user groups.
# Groups can be uncontrolled, moderated or controlled. The whole network may also have a global master.
# This file is adressed by the network.unit.definition property in defaults/yacy.init. If necessary this
# property can also address a URL where a network definition file can be hosted, so that a network
# can easily be moderated from a single central. In case of the public network of all independent peers
# for global indexing, the network definition is attached to the release and defines no network master or
# any other supervision.

# peer-to-peer construction using the bootstrap properties:
# 1st: a file within every distribution that has a list of URLs,
#      or a location with a file containing a list of URLs:
#      -> these are the superseed files (there are only two of these files)
# 2nd: the files that can be retrieved by the superseeds' URLs
#      are called seed list-files. (there can be many of those)
#      -> the seed list-files contain b.o. IP/port combinations of running YaCy peers
#      -> seed-list files are written by principal peers

# Control Modes for Peer Groups:
# we have three different types of moderation:
# uncontrolled: only the peer's administrator may use protected pages of the YaCy interface
# moderated   : the unit/group moderator may access some protected pages i.e. Crawl Start
# controlled  : the unit/group moderator may access all pages of the peers within the same unit/group

# Defintion of property domains:
#     network.unit.name = <any word, name of network; appears in network graphic>
#     network.unit.description = <any string, just informal; appears in network graphic>
#     network.unit.domain = 'global'|'local'|'any'
#     network.unit.dhtredundancy = <integer number, 0 means no DHT enabled>
#     network.unit.bootstrap.seedlist<n> = <an url to a seedlists-file, which is stored by a principal peer>
#     network.unit.protocol.control = 'uncontrolled'|'moderated'|'controlled'
#     network.unit.protocol.request.authentication.method = 'salted-magic'
#     network.unit.protocol.request.authentication.essentials = <any string, a secret password>
#     network.unit.protocol.response.authentication.method = 'challenge-pwresponse'
#     network.unit.protocol.response.authentication.essentials = <a challenge string>':'<a secret response-string>
#     network.unit.administration.control = 'uncontrolled'|'moderated'|'controlled'
#     network.unit.administration.manager = <a .yacy or .yacyh - domain, naming the manager peer>
#     network.unit.administration.request.authentication.method = 'salted-magic'
#     network.unit.administration.request.authentication.essentials = <any string, a secret password>
