Aquila Port is the data transport layer for Aquila Network. Its prime function is to handle continuous replication of data between Aquila DB nodes in a network. Aquila Port is also capable of discovering databases and documents across the network automatically.
Aquila Replication Protocol is not built from scratch. It is a modified version of infamous Couch Replication Protocol adopted for content addressing and custom conflict resolution.
Current version of Aquila Replication Protocol is minimal and experimental as a proof of concept. Breaking changes may apply in future versions to incorporate authentication, authorization and content addressed redundancy control.
