+X-Bone discovers, configures, and monitors network resources to create
+overlays over existing IP networks. Overlays are useful for deploying
+overlapping virtual networks on shared infrastructure and for
+simplifying topology.

+The X-Bone's two-layer IP in IP tunneled overlays support existing
+applications and unmodified routing, multicast, and DNS services in
+unmodified host operating systems. This two-layer scheme uniquely
+supports node revisitation and recursive overlays, which is critical
+for fault tolerance and dynamic relocation. The X-Bone uses multicast
+to simplify resource discovery, and provides secure deployment as well
+as secure overlays (VPNs).
