They represent the first and last hop Mixnet packets travel through when travelling between clients. * **Services** are applications that communicate with nym clients, listening and sending traffic to the mixnet. This is an umbrella term for a variety of different pieces of code, such as the Network Requester. -* **Clients** are used to connect to and send messages through the Mixnet to other clients, utilising Gateways for ingress and egress. +> **Clients** are used to connect to and send messages through the Mixnet to other clients, utilising Gateways for ingress and egress. These are however on the 'user' side and not a Mixnet component per se. ## Smoosh Status The various Mixnet components were originally completely separate binaries. They are in the process of being 'smooshed' together into a single `nym-node` binary which runs in different modes for ease of use, as well as to allow for a more developed and responsive Mixnet design, where the role of a node in a given time period is decided and changed automatically based on network conditions (more on this in the future).
