The Byzantium control panel is an application which allows the user to
(de)configure network interfaces, add or remove them from a mesh, and
enable or disable services and web applications running on a node. It
runs on a node (listening only on the loopback interface) and is
accessed with any web browser. Technically, it is a web application,
but seeing as how Byzantium will package a couple of web applications
for public use on a mesh anyway (Etherpad-lite, crypto.cat, status.net,
and a few others) it made more sense to call it a control panel.

IPv4. We considered IPv6, and in fact we get it for free with the Linux
kernel, but not all applications are aware of or play nicely with it.

This is an interesting problem to us, and one of the things we have in
mind once Byzantium is stable is correcting problems with
interoperability. In the States right now, mesh networking is not
really a popular technology; hopefully Byzantium will drum up more
interest over here (and open a meaningful dialogue with the "Mesh
networking sucks, why don't you just give up?" critics).
