113 R5N is an overlay network with a pluggable transport layer.
114 The following figure shows the R5N architecture.

143 <dt>Applications</dt>
144 <dd>
145 Applications are components which directly use the DHT overlay
146 interfaces. Possible applications include the GNU Name System
147 <xref target="I-D.draft-schanzen-gns" /> or the CADET transport system
148 <xref target="cadet" />.
149 </dd>
150 <dt>Overlay Interface</dt>
151 <dd>
152 The Overlay Interface exposes the core operations of the DHT overlay
153 to applications.
154 This includes querying and retrieving data from the DHT.
155 </dd>
156 <dt>Block Storage</dt>
157 <dd>
158 The Block Storage component is used to persist and manage data
159 by peers. It includes logic for quotas, caching stragegies and
160 data validation.
161 </dd>
162 <dt>Message Processing</dt>
163 <dd>
164 The Message Processing component processes requests from and responses
165 to applications as well as messages from the underlay network.
166 </dd>
167 <dt>Routing</dt>
168 <dd>
169 The Routing component includes the routing table as well as
170 routing and peer selection logic. It facilitates the R5N routing
171 algorithm with required data structures and algorithms.
172 </dd>
173 <dt>Underlay Interface</dt>
174 <dd>
175 The DHT Underlay Interface is an abstraction layer on top of the
176 supported links of a peer. Peers may be linked by a variety of
177 different transports, including "classical" protocols such as
178 TCP, UDP and TLS or advanced protocols such as GNUnet, L2P or Tor.
