### P2P and Network Protocols
### P2P and Network Protocols
- [The Base P2P Layer](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/docs/spec/p2p): multiplex the protocols ("reactors") on authenticated and encrypted TCP connections
- [Peer Exchange (PEX)](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/docs/spec/reactors/pex): gossip known peer addresses so peers can find each other
- [Block Sync](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/docs/spec/reactors/block_sync): gossip blocks so peers can catch up quickly
- [Consensus](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/docs/spec/reactors/consensus): gossip votes and block parts so new blocks can be committed
- [Mempool](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/docs/spec/reactors/mempool): gossip transactions so they get included in blocks
- Evidence: Forthcoming, see [this issue](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2329).
