  Description : Multipoint-to-multipoint VPN implementation

VPN library using UDP/SCTP technology focusing on High-Availability.
Detects connectivity issues via link heartbeat and performs fast failover.
Provides plugin interfaces for encryption, compression and switching.
Carries arbitraty data types, not just Ethernet.  Can be used internally
or exposed to the host via TAP interfaces.

This is a dependency of the upcoming Corosync major version 3, thus
I'm bringing it under the Debian HA Team umbrella.

Unfortunately, this is still an issue and indeed limits the
applicability domain of the software.  However, it became feasible to
fix by dropping Python 2 support and work is ongoing now.

  Description : multicolumn virtual terminal

 Your screen is getting wider. Keeping track of long lines gets harder. Space
 on the right hand side of the screen is completely blank due to short lines.
 Are you struggling with these? Then tcvt is for you.
 .
 The two column virtual terminal, short tcvt, can be used to vertically split a
 single terminal in two columns. This is similar to a two column layout in
 printing, just for regular terminals.
 .
 Note that this is not about placing two terminals next to each other. This
 task is already solved by tiling window managers, screen, tmux and splitvt.
 What tcvt does is create a single very tall terminal with two columns. 

I find this utility very useful for some administrative tasks.
