It can be thought of as a modern UUCP with Internet smarts. NNCP supports direct online communication over a LAN or Internet, scheduled communication, offline copies, streaming communication (pipes), and more. It can therefore be used for air-gapped computers that might be communicated with by CD-ROM, tape, or USB stick. It can also be used for intermittent or on-demand links, very slow or high latency links, etc. Like UUCP, NNCP supports routing messages via intermediate systems. With NNCP, however, all packets are end-to-end encrypted and authenticated, making this more proper onion routing -- the intermediate systems have no visibility to the content of the data being passed. NNCP also has robust tools for interrupted transfer resumption, handling of very large files, and verifying integrity of data copied off.
