> Node.js implementation of the TCP module that libp2p uses, which implements the [interface-connection](https://github.com/libp2p/interface-connection) interface for dial/listen.
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`libp2p-tcp` in Node.js is a very thin shim that adds support for dialing to a `multiaddr`. This small shim will enable libp2p to use other different transports.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This module uses [pull-streams](https://pull-stream.github.io) for all stream based interfaces.

## This module uses `pull-streams`
|
||||
|
||||
We expose a streaming interface based on `pull-streams`, rather then on the Node.js core streams implementation (aka Node.js streams). `pull-streams` offers us a better mechanism for error handling and flow control guarantees. If you would like to know more about what took us to make this migration, see the discussion at this [issue](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/362).

||||
- [Check out the existing issues](//github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-tcp/issues).
|
||||
- **Perform code reviews**.
|
||||
- **Add tests**. There can never be enough tests.
|
||||
