1.2 What is a Transport Plugin?

Connext sends data over a variety of transport networks. Connext has pluggable transport architecture. The core of Connext is transport agnostic, it does not make any assumptions about the actual transports used to send and receive messages.

Connext comes with standard UDPv4/IP and UDPv6/IP pluggable transports, as well as a shared memory transport; these transports are enabled by default. Connext also give you the ability to define new transport plugins and run utilizing them.
