## Development
### respond
It send the `gluon-neighbour-info` request and collect them together.
It will send UDP packetes by the multicast group `ff02:0:0:0:0:0:2:1001` and port `1001` .
### modes.Nodes
It cached the Informations of the Nodes and will save them periodical to a JSON file.
The current nodes are saved default under `nodes.json` .
### websocketserver
One Instance is running under `/nodes` which send updates or new Nodes,
which are collected by respond.
### Issues
Later there should be also `/aliases` Websocket with Authentification to manage the `aliases.json` with the request for changes.
