Network

	ThreeFold Network Layer	Other Overlay Network Technologies (like VPN)
Management	Full P2P, done by 3bot Agents, blockchain IT contract	Centralized leading to security issues
Locality	Find shortest path on latency and quality, this allows traffic to stay sovereign.	NO, based on centralized control mechanisms or inefficient algorithms that route traffic indiscriminately across the globe.
Encryption	End2End ecryption, unique for every relation, linked to private key	Normally based on key exchange, or pre-shared keys.
Post Quantum	Possible (ask us)	No
Scalability	Our aim is to be planetary scalable, but we need more exposure.	Bad
Compatibility	We aim to support mobile, desktop, IOT, ...	Depends, often not
Backdoors	NO, all is based on opensource	Often, yes, unfortunately.
Performance	Quite good, 1 gbit / sec can be achieved on std node (which is high for overlay)	Often slow.
Security Model	Whitelist model	Blacklist model, list who is bad e.g. firewalls
Fully integrated in compute	Yes	Lots of different solutions
