+## 1.1. The Idea
+
+1\. The idea is to connect multiple sites in a mesh-network-topology.
+
+2\. The filesystem makes all files from all sites available at each site in a combined view.
+
+```
+/mnt/ltdfs/
+\ siteA-Readme.md
+\ siteB-Readme.md
+```
+
+3\. Each file has certain metadata to identify location and owner.
+
+```
+siteA-Readme.md
+---
+Availability:
+ - SiteA
+ - SiteB
+Owner: SiteA
+```
+
+4\. When reading, first the local cache is checked and then one or even multiple sites are chosen to load the file.
+
+5\. When writing, if the file is available locally, an ownership-transfer is requested with the owner-site.
+When the Ack comes back, the file is available to be written to **locally**.
+Ownership-transfers are synced immediately through the network from the owner-site.
+
+If the file was not available locally, a Write-lock-request is send to the owner-site.
+When the Ack comes back, the file will be written **write-through**.
+Lock-Requests are not synced and expire after no data has flown for a period of time.
+Writing remotely to a file without a lock-request is rejected.
