'''Alfred''' (acronym of ''Almighty Lightweight Fact Remote Exchange Daemon'') is a [[user space]] [[daemon]] for distributing arbitrary local information over the [[mesh]]/network in a decentralized fashion. This data can be anything which appears to be useful - originally designed to replace the [[batman-adv]] visualization (vis), you may distribute hostnames, phone books, administration information, DNS information, the local weather forecast, etc.

'''Alfred''' runs as daemon in the background of the system. A user may insert information by using the alfred binary on the command line, or use special programs to communicate with alfred (done via unix sockets). The daemon then takes care of distributing the local information to other alfred servers on other nodes. This is done via [[IPv6#Link-local multicast|IPv6 link-local multicast]], and does not require any configuration. A user can request data from alfred, and will receive the information available from all alfred servers in the network.
