>Yggdrasil is a mesh network and it can make connections over WiFi, Bluetooth or even packet radio, and the internet is just one of them.The Internet can also go over any medium and it is also resilient to topological changes. The Internet Protocol fully does this. You can have internet over copper wire, laser point to point systems, satellite radio waves, microwave 3g/4g/5g radio, carrier pidgeons, and any other way you can think of, you can have an underwater based connection to the internet if you use speakers and microphones if you wanted. Additionally the routing of ip protocol is meant to reroute if a router goes down, the same way as yaggrasil. So why not just have your devices configured with IP over X, instead of IP over yaggdrasil which abstracts over X.
It seems to solve the same kind of stuff that internet already solves beautifully. Internet is
agnostic with respect to the physical medium.
>it doesn't rely on any centralized companies like IANA or ICANN.In the case of ICANN the internet doesn't rely on this either. You can already fully type in the IP address of a computer without a domain name and get the page it is serving. Yaggdrasil doesn't provide DNS either. You would need a separate DNS service (I see there's a blockchain based one) to have leftychan.ygg for example. But if we are to connect directly with an ip address we don't need DNS, so that's not a point for Yaggdrasil if it's just an alternate routing protocol.
The encryption is nice but we have encryption on top of IP via TLS which prevents any sort of man-in-the-middle attacks and I trust that a lot more than a new protocol.
So TL;DR what can we do with this that the internet doesn't already do?
