+The purpose of this PEG document is to give short overview of existing 
+overlays which have an implementation and try to choose the implementation
+which suits best to our needs.
+
+The reason for creating this PEG document is that we have 
+noticed that the current implementation of GISP_ seems to 
+have many obvious security exploits. Therefore, we need to examine other 
+available overlays which have a implementation in hope for finding a more 
+mature P2P platform. 
+
+The list of implemented overlays is of as of June 2003.
