Documentation - Design

This documentation is primarily for developers. If you are a user, it is suggested that you refer to the Modules section. Each module operates much like a traditional application. The documentation for these modules include a description, an installation guide, and a getting started tutorial.

If you are new to developing with Chorus, you should probably start off with the high-level design document, http documentation, and distributed hash table interface. These are of primary interest for application writing.

If you plan on implementing new protocols, the Protocol design is a must first read. For end-point protocols and layered protocols you should at least read the respective documents. However, you should probably read both and the implementation of a small protocol such as tcp or length-coded.
