+# examples/tcp
+
+An implementation of the network interface, using TCP sockets. Identifiers follow the format of `{IP}:{port}`.
+
+Identifers now behave slightly differently to reflect the realities of using raw sockets, in contrast to `examples/local` where they consistently map 1-1 to an instance of `Connector`. On receiving messages:
+- `{IP}` may be either an IPV4 address or an IPV6 address, depending on your OS and networking environment. The `{port}` is the source port for the tcp connection.
+- `{port}`, will be unpredictable and assigned by the operating system of which other peer's `Connector` instance is located.   
+- `Connector` may have one or more open sockets with another `Connector` instance, each with a distinct source port number.
+
+When designing your application, you may want to be able to retain some form of unique identifier for each Connector instance on the network:
+- If you can be certain that only one instance of `Connector` is behind each IP address, perhaps on a local network such as Grid5000 in which each node has at most one connector; the IP address (with the port stripped out) may be suitable to identify peers. 
+- Otherwise, you may want to define some messaging protocol on top of the interface yourself. For instance using public key cryptography to consistently distinguish peers.
