 ## Technical overview of tracker design
 
 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 little waiting for locks on internal state occurs,
+send them through channels to request workers. The request workers go through
+the requests, update shared internal tracker state as appropriate and generate
+responses that are sent back to the socket workers. The responses are then
+serialized and sent back to the peers.

+This design means little waiting for locks on internal state occurs,
 while network work can be efficiently distributed over multiple threads,
 making use of SO_REUSEPORT setting.
