About transports

Understand how nodes move data between peers and which transports suit each environment.​

Transports help move data packets across a network by establishing connections between peers. They define the rules and protocols to ensure efficient network transmission, routing, and data delivery. Logos Delivery is a transport-agnostic framework that allows developers to choose and support multiple protocols according to their requirements.

The basics​

  • Transports move data packets between peers and define how the network transmits, routes, and delivers data.
  • Logos Delivery is transport-agnostic, so developers choose the protocols that suit their requirements.
  • The recommended transports vary by environment, from TCP for service nodes to secure WebSocket for browsers.

For Logos Delivery nodes, the following transports are recommended:

  • TCP: By default, Logos Delivery nodes use TCP for communication. Service nodes should employ TCP for listening to and connecting with other nodes.
  • Secure WebSocket: In browser environments, secure WebSocket is used. Service nodes are encouraged to set up SSL certificates to enable incoming connections from browsers and serve them securely.
  • Other protocols like WebRTC, WebTransport, and QUIC have been researched and studied for potential integration.
