and enter the path into the tracker configuration field `tls_pkcs12_path`. Set
the password in the field `tls_pkcs12_password` and set `use_tls` to true.
## Architectural overview
One or more socket workers open sockets, read and parse requests from peers and
send them through channels to request workers. They in turn go through the
requests, update internal state as appropriate and generate responses, which
are sent back to the socket workers, which serialize them and send them to
peers. This design means less waiting for locks on internal state has to occur,
while network work can be efficiently distributed over multiple threads.
## Trivia
The tracker is called aquatic because it thrives under a torrent of bits ;-)
