+# MUD
+
+MUD is a secure, connectionless network protocol over UDP.
+It enables the distribution of packets on multiple paths while maintaining a low latency (the bandwidth is sacrificed in favor of latency).
+
+### Compatibility
+
+Linux is the platform of choice but it was successfully ported to OpenBSD and OSX.
+
+### Security
+
+MUD uses [libsodium](https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium) for all cryptographic operations.
+Encryption (and authentication) is done with AES256-GCM when aesni is available otherwise ChaCha20-Poly1305 is used.
+The Diffie-Hellman function X25519 is used for key exchange.
+
+### Performance
+
+The scheduler is still in development but you will find some measurements to give you an idea of the performance [here](https://github.com/angt/mud/wiki/Perf).
+
+
+### Issues
+
+For feature requests and bug reports, please create an [issue](https://github.com/angt/mud/issues).
