+# TestOverlay
+
+This provides a set of template classes for simulating a peer to peer
+network. These facilities are provided:
+
+- Initial construction of the network.
+- Message passing between peers
+- Network wide state information.
+- Per-peer state information.
+
+## Description
+
+Through the use of suitable template arguments, the logic and state information
+for each peer can be customized. Messages are packets of arbitrary size with
+template-parameter defined data. The network is modeled discretely; The time
+evolution of the network is defined by successive steps where messages are
+always delivered reliably on the next step after which they are sent.
