Overlay

Introduction

The Ripple payment network consists of a collection of peers running the rippled software. Each peer maintains multiple outgoing connections and optional incoming connections to other peers. These connections are made over both the public Internet and private local area networks. This network defines a fully connected directed graph of nodes. Peers send and receive messages to other connected peers. This peer to peer network, layered on top of the public and private Internet, forms an overlay network. The contents of the messages and the behavior of peers in response to the messages, plus the information exchanged during the handshaking phase of connection establishment, defines the Peer Protocol.
