## Overview

This repository is a Python peer-to-peer networking library with two terminal interfaces: a multi-node network manager and a single-node CLI. Users start nodes, connect peers, and exercise direct messaging, broadcast, ping/discovery, and hyperedge multicast; topology and hyperedge state can be saved as CSV and visualized. The graph separates orchestration, peer runtime, and topology/visualization. Some links rely on the SOURCE INDEX or explicit comments because excerpts omit implementation details.

Main entry points: [`P2P Library/network_manager.py`](https://github.com/codelearner236/hypergraph-based-p2p-library/blob/main/P2P%20Library/network_manager.py) (Network manager), [`P2P Library/node_cli.py`](https://github.com/codelearner236/hypergraph-based-p2p-library/blob/main/P2P%20Library/node_cli.py) (Single-node CLI), [`P2P Library/p2p/node.py`](https://github.com/codelearner236/hypergraph-based-p2p-library/blob/main/P2P%20Library/p2p/node.py) (Enhanced node), [`P2P Library/visualize_hypergraph.py`](https://github.com/codelearner236/hypergraph-based-p2p-library/blob/main/P2P%20Library/visualize_hypergraph.py) (Topology visualizer)
