+
+<h2>Informations du panneau de contrôle</h2><p>
+Plusieurs des statistiques du panneau de contrôle peuvent être <a href="configstats.jsp">configurées</a> pour être 
+affichées sous forme de <a href="graphs.jsp">graphiques</a> pour l'analyse à postériori.
+</p><h3>GÉNÉRAL</h3><ul>
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Identité locale:</b>
+Cliquez sur "Afficher" pour voir l'empreinte Base64 à 44 caractères (256 bits) de votre routeur. Le hachage 
+complet est affiché sur votre <a href="netdb.jsp?r=.">page d'infos routeur</a>. Ne la divulguez jamais à personne, 
+car l'info routeur contient votre adresse IP.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Version:</b>
+La version d'I2P qui vous affiche actuellement cette page.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Lancé depuis:</b>
+Indique depuis combien de temps le routeur tourne.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Réseau:</b>
+Statut de joignabilité du routeur par les autres routeurs.
+Plus d'infos sur la page de <a href="config.jsp#help">configuration</a>.
+</ul><h3>Pairs</h3><ul>
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Actifs:</b>
+le premier nombre est celui des routeurs avec qui le votre a communiqué dans les dernières minutes. Ça peut varier de 
+8-10 à plusieurs centaines, suivant votre bande passante, son ratio de partage, et le trafic généré localement. Le 
+second est celui des pairs vus dans les dernières heures. Ces nombres penvent varier sensiblement sans conséquence.
+<a href="configstats.jsp#router.activePeers">[Activer les courbes]</a>.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Rapides:</b>
+le nombre de pairs que vous mettez à contribution pour construire vos tunnels clients. En général dans une tranche de 
+8 à 30. Vos pairs rapides sont détaillés sur la page <a href="profiles.jsp">profils</a>.
+<a href="configstats.jsp#router.fastPeers">[Activer les courbes]</a>.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Hautes capacités:</b>
+nombre des pairs que vous utilisez pour construire quelques uns de vos tunnels exploratoires. Habituellement de 8 à 75. 
+Les pairs rapides font partie du groupe des \"Hautes capacités\". Vos pairs à hautes capacités sont aussi listés sur 
+la page <a href="profiles.jsp">profils</a>.
+<a href="configstats.jsp#router.highCapacityPeers">[Activer les courbes]</a>.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Bien intégrés:</b>
+vous utilisez ce groupe pour vos requêtes à la base de données du réseau. Ils sont souvent des pairs de remplissage par 
+diffusion ("floodfill"). Vos pairs "bien intégrés" sont affichés en bas de la même page 
+<a href="profiles.jsp">profils</a>.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Connus:</b>
+c'est tous les routeurs dont vous connaissez l'existance. Il sont listés sur la page 
+<a href="netdb.jsp">base de données du réseau</a>. De moins de 100 à 1000 ou plus. Ce nombre ne représente pas la 
+taille totale du réseau; il varie en fonction de votre bande passante totale, du ratio de partage, et du trafic local. 
+I2P n'a pas besoin que chaque routeur connaisse tous les autres.
+</ul><h3>Bande passante entrée/sortie</h3><div align="justify"> 
+Ça parle tout seul. Toutes les valeurs sont en octets par seconde (o/s), pas en bits par seconde (b/s). Modifiez vos 
+limites de bande passante sur la page de <a href="config.jsp#help">configuration</a>.
+Le graphique de <a href="graphs.jsp">bande passante</a> est activé par défaut.</div>
+
+<h3>Destinations locales</h3><div align="justify">
+C'est le nom I2P des applications qui se connectent par votre routeur. Elles peuvent être des clients lancés depuis 
+<a href="i2ptunnel/index.jsp">I2PTunnel</a> ou des programmes tiers qui se connectent via SAM, BOB ou directement à 
+I2CP.
+</div><h3>Tunnels entrée/sortie</h3><div align="justify">
+The actual tunnels are shown on the <a href="tunnels.jsp">the tunnels page</a>.</div><ul>
+<li class="tidylist"><div align="justify"><b>Exploratory:</b>
+Tunnels built by your router and used for communication with the floodfill peers,
+building new tunnels, and testing existing tunnels.</div>
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Client:</b>
+Tunnels built by your router for each client's use.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Participating:</b>
+Tunnels built by other routers through your router.
+This may vary widely depending on network demand, your
+shared bandwidth, and amount of locally-generated traffic.
+The recommended method for limiting participating tunnels is
+to change your share percentage on the <a href="config.jsp#help">configuration page</a>.
+You may also limit the total number by setting <tt>router.maxParticipatingTunnels=nnn</tt> on
+the <a href="configadvanced.jsp">advanced configuration page</a>. <a href="configstats.jsp#tunnel.participatingTunnels">[Enable graphing]</a>.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Share ratio:</b>
+The number of participating tunnels you route for others, divided by the total number of hops in
+all your exploratory and client tunnels.
+A number greater than 1.00 means you are contributing more tunnels to the network than you are using.
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Congestion</h3><div align="justify">
+Some basic indications of router overload:</div><ul>
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Job lag:</b>
+How long jobs are waiting before execution. The job queue is listed on the <a href="jobs.jsp">jobs page</a>.
+Unfortunately, there are several other job queues in the router that may be congested,
+and their status is not available in the router console.
+The job lag should generally be zero.
+If it is consistently higher than 500ms, your computer is very slow, or the
+router has serious problems.
+<a href="configstats.jsp#jobQueue.jobLag">[Enable graphing]</a>.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Message delay:</b>
+How long an outbound message waits in the queue.
+This should generally be a few hundred milliseconds or less.
+If it is consistently higher than 1000ms, your computer is very slow,
+or you should adjust your bandwidth limits, or your (bittorrent?) clients
+may be sending too much data and should have their transmit bandwidth limit reduced.
+<a href="configstats.jsp#transport.sendProcessingTime">[Enable graphing]</a> (transport.sendProcessingTime).
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Tunnel lag:</b>
+This is the round trip time for a tunnel test, which sends a single message
+out a client tunnel and in an exploratory tunnel, or vice versa.
+It should usually be less than 5 seconds.
+If it is consistently higher than that, your computer is very slow,
+or you should adjust your bandwidth limits, or there are network problems.
+<a href="configstats.jsp#tunnel.testSuccessTime">[Enable graphing]</a> (tunnel.testSuccessTime).
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Handle backlog:</b>
+This is the number of pending requests from other routers to build a
+participating tunnel through your router.
+It should usually be close to zero.
+If it is consistently high, your computer is too slow,
+and you should reduce your share bandwidth limits.
+<li class="tidylist"><b>Accepting/Rejecting:</b>
+Your router's status on accepting or rejecting
+requests from other routers to build a
+participating tunnel through your router.
+Your router may accept all requests, accept or reject a percentage of requests,
+or reject all requests for a number of reasons, to control
+the bandwidth and CPU demands and maintain capacity for
+local clients.</ul>

+<h2>Legal stuff</h2><p>The I2P router (router.jar) and SDK (i2p.jar) are almost entirely public domain, with
+a few notable exceptions:</p><ul>
+<li class="tidylist">ElGamal and DSA code, under the BSD license, written by TheCrypto</li>
+<li class="tidylist">SHA256 and HMAC-SHA256, under the MIT license, written by the Legion of the Bouncycastle</li>
+<li class="tidylist">AES code, under the Cryptix (MIT) license, written by the Cryptix team</li>
+<li class="tidylist">SNTP code, under the BSD license, written by Adam Buckley</li>
+<li class="tidylist">The rest is outright public domain, written by jrandom, mihi, hypercubus, oOo,
+    ugha, duck, shendaras, and others.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>On top of the I2P router are a series of client applications, each with their own set of
+licenses and dependencies.  This webpage is being served as part of the I2P routerconsole
+client application, which is built off a trimmed down <a href="http://jetty.mortbay.com/jetty/index.html">Jetty</a>
+instance (trimmed down, as in, we do not include the demo apps or other add-ons, and we simplify configuration),
+allowing you to deploy standard JSP/Servlet web applications into your router.  Jetty in turn makes use of
+Apache's javax.servlet (javax.servlet.jar) implementation.
+This product includes software developed by the Apache Software Foundation
+(http://www.apache.org/). </p>
+
+<p>Another application you can see on this webpage is <a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/i2ptunnel">I2PTunnel</a>
+(your <a href="i2ptunnel/" target="_blank">web interface</a>) - a GPL'ed application written by mihi that
+lets you tunnel normal TCP/IP traffic over I2P (such as the eepproxy and the irc proxy).  There is also a
+<a href="http://susi.i2p/">susimail</a> web based mail client <a href="susimail/susimail">available</a> on
+the console, which is a GPL'ed application written by susi23.  The addressbook application, written by
+<a href="http://ragnarok.i2p/">Ragnarok</a> helps maintain your hosts.txt files (see ./addressbook/ for
+more information).</p>
+
+<p>The router by default also includes human's public domain <a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/sam">SAM</a> bridge,
+which other client applications (such the <a href="http://duck.i2p/i2p-bt/">bittorrent port</a>) can use.
+There is also an optimized library for doing large number calculations - jbigi - which in turn uses the
+LGPL licensed <a href="http://swox.com/gmp/">GMP</a> library, tuned for various PC architectures.  Launchers for windows users are built with <a href="http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/">Launch4J</a>, and the installer is built with <a href="http://www.izforge.com/izpack/">IzPack</a>.  For
+details on other applications available, as well as their licenses, please see the
+<a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/licenses">license policy</a>.  Source for the I2P code and most bundled
+client applications can be found on our <a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/download">download page</a>.
