# Architecture Fundamentals

Flopsar consists of three components:

* Agent
* Server
* Workstation

Workstation, as a web application, can be served from either the server directly or any web server, which is able to operate as a reverse proxy.

## Networking

Agents initiate bidirectional TCP connections to the server, which listens to these connections on a socket address specified in the server configuration.&#x20;
