+.SH NAME
+cubemap \- scalable video reflector, designed to be used with VLC
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cubemap
+.RI [ options ]
+.RI [ FILE ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B cubemap
+is a high-performance, high-availability video reflector,
+specifically made for use with VLC. It is currently in alpha stage.
+.PP
+.IP \[bu] 2
+High-performance, through a design with multiple worker threads,
+epoll and sendfile (yes, sendfile); a 2GHz quadcore can saturate
+10 gigabit Ethernet, given a modern kernel, a modern NIC
+and the right kernel tuning.
+.IP \[bu]
+High-availability. You can change any part of the configuration
+(and even upgrade to a newer version of Cubemap) by changing cubemap.config
+and sending a SIGHUP; all clients will continue as if nothing had happened
+(unless you delete the stream they are watching, of course).
+Cubemap also survives the encoder dying and reconnecting.
+.IP \[bu]
+Per-stream fwmark support, for TCP pacing through tc (separate config needed).
+.IP \[bu]
+Reflects anything VLC can reflect over HTTP, even the muxes VLC
+has problems reflecting itself (in particular, FLV).
+.IP \[bu]
+IPv4 support. Yes, Cubemap even supports (some) legacy protocols.
