# Network

|
The IPFS Network package handles all of the peer-to-peer networking. It connects to other hosts, it encrypts communications, it muxes messages between the network's client services and target hosts. It has multiple subcomponents:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Conn` - a connection to a single Peer
|
||
|
|
- `MultiConn` - a set of connections to a single Peer
|
||
|
|
- `SecureConn` - an encrypted (tls-like) connection
|
||
|
|
- `Swarm` - holds connections to Peers, multiplexes from/to each `MultiConn`
|
||
|
|
- `Muxer` - multiplexes between `Services` and `Swarm`. Handles `Requet/Reply`.
|
||
|
|
- `Service` - connects between an outside client service and Network.
|
||
|
|
- `Handler` - the client service part that handles requests
|

It looks a bit like this:
