Network interfaces for go-libp2p

The IPFS Network package handles all of the peer-to-peer networking. It connects to other hosts, it encrypts communications, it muxes messages between the network's client services and target hosts. It has multiple subcomponents:

• Conn - a connection to a single Peer
  • MultiConn - a set of connections to a single Peer
  • SecureConn - an encrypted (tls-like) connection
• Swarm - holds connections to Peers, multiplexes from/to each MultiConn
• Muxer - multiplexes between Services and Swarm. Handles Request/Reply.
  • Service - connects between an outside client service and Network.
  • Handler - the client service part that handles requests

It looks a bit like this:
