Multiplexing Multiplexing
^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
While multiplexers are not strictly required, they are highly recommended as they improve the effectiveness and efficiency of connections. Adding a multiplexer to your configuration will allow libp2p to run several of its internal protocols, like Identify, as well as allow your application to easily run any number of protocols over a single connection. Multiplexers are a required component of libp2p connections. They enable multiple logical streams to be carried over a single connection, which is essential for efficient peer-to-peer communication. The multiplexer layer is a mandatory part of the connection upgrade process, alongside the transport and security layers.
