LUSerNet

LUSerNet is a file sharing network that was designed to run on Local Area Network. It implements a simple low overhead P2P protocol that relies on UDP Broadcasts. These broadcasts limit LUSerNet to only working within the LAN, however the bandwidth used between the peers is far less than other peer to peer protocols. LUSerNet was originally made for use on the Lancaster University network, and quickly became popular among the students.
