The Freenet Client Protocol (FCP) interface is required in a node
implementation, but the XML-RPC isn't currently being supported (although
maybe it should be).
That is pretty much it. You need a routing table - something that can
store a lot of key->node mappings and quickly find those close to a given
key value (keys being basically 23-byte numbers). We are using a
red-black tree.
