# Serf Internals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This section goes over some of the internals of Serf, such as the gossip
|
||
|
|
protocol, ordering of messages via lamport clocks, etc. This section
|
||
|
|
also contains a useful [convergence simulator](/docs/internals/simulator.html)
|
||
|
|
that can be used to see how fast a Serf cluster will converge under
|
||
|
|
various conditions with specific configurations.

Note that knowing about the internals of Serf is not necessary to
|
||
|
|
successfully use it, but we document it here to be completely transparent
|
||
|
|
about how the "magic" of Serf works.
