Protocol Components

Protocol Components

Swarm’s protocol stack is composed of core components designed to enable secure, efficient, and scalable operations for distributed AI workloads. Each component plays a critical role in ensuring smooth communication and optimal resource utilization across the network.

Component	Purpose	Implementation
Ray Protocol	Facilitates distributed compute by managing task scheduling and execution across multiple nodes.	Built on the Ray framework, optimized for parallel and distributed AI workflows.
Mesh VPN	Ensures secure networking between nodes in the Swarm ecosystem, safeguarding communication.	Powered by WireGuard, providing fast and encrypted point-to-point connections.
Service Discovery	Automates resource location by identifying available nodes and services in real time.	Uses a distributed registry, ensuring dynamic scaling and efficient task allocation.
Load Balancing	Distributes traffic evenly across nodes to maximize resource utilization and prevent bottlenecks.	Implements dynamic routing algorithms to optimize workload performance.
