## Establishing a connection
When your applcation attempts to establish a connection over a socket the following happens:
- app calls `socket()`
- our library's `zt_socket()` is executed instead
- library establishes an `AF_UNIX` socket connection with the service (this is used to orchestrate communication between the intercept/library and the **tap service**)
- an `RPC_SOCKET` message is sent to the **tap service**
- the **tap service** receives the `RPC_SOCKET` message and requests the allocation of a new `Connection` object from the **stack driver** which represents the new socket.
- the **tap service** then repurposes the socket used for the RPC message and returns its file descriptor to your app for it to use as the new socket.
From your app's perspective nothing out of the ordinary has happened. It called `socket()`, and got a file descriptor back.

The other end of the `AF_UNIX` socket which was written to is monitored by the **tap service** thread. Once data is read from the socket, it will call `phyOnUnixData()` which will copy the buffer contents onto the `Connection`'s `txbuf`. Then `pico_handleWrite()` will be called. The **stack driver** will determine how much of the buffer can safely be sent to the **network stack** (up to `ZT_MAX_MTU` which is currently set at 2800 bytes). A call is made to `pico_socket_write()` which copies the data from the `txbuf` to the `pico_socket`.
