<p>A few definitions before we dive into the main architecture documentation. Also note, Arch borrows from Envoys terminology
to keep things consistent in logs and traces, and introduces and clarifies concepts are is relates to LLM applications.</p>
<p><strong>Agent</strong>: An application that uses LLMs to handle wide-ranging tasks from users via prompts. This could be as simple
as retrieving or summarizing data from an API, or being able to trigger compleix actions like adjusting ad campaigns, or
changing travel plans via prompts.</p>
<p><strong>Arch Config</strong>: Arch operates based on a configuration that controls the behavior of a single instance of the Arch gateway.
This where you enable capabilities like LLM routing, fast function calling (via prompt_targets), applying guardrails, and enabling critical
features like metrics and tracing. For the full configuration reference of <cite>arch_config.yaml</cite> see <a class="reference internal" href="../../resources/configuration_reference.html#configuration-refernce"><span class="std std-ref">here</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Downstream(Ingress)</strong>: An downstream client (web application, etc.) connects to Arch, sends prompts, and receives responses.</p>
<p><strong>Upstream(Egress)</strong>: An upstream host that receives connections and prompts from Arch, and returns context or responses for a prompt</p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/network-topology-ingress-egress.jpg"><img alt="../../_images/network-topology-ingress-egress.jpg" class="align-center" src="../../_images/network-topology-ingress-egress.jpg" style="width: 100%;"/>
</a>
<p><strong>Listener</strong>: A <a class="reference internal" href="listener.html#arch-overview-listeners"><span class="std std-ref">listener</span></a> is a named network location (e.g., port, address, path etc.) that Arch listens on to process prompts
before forwarding them to your application server endpoints. rch enables you to configure one listener for downstream connections
(like port 80, 443) and creates a separate internal listener for calls that initiate from your application code to LLMs.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>When you start Arch, you specify a listener address/port that you want to bind downstream. But, Arch uses are predefined port
that you can use (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">127.0.0.1:12000</span></code>) to proxy egress calls originating from your application to LLMs (API-based or hosted).
For more details, check out <a class="reference internal" href="../llm_provider.html#llm-provider"><span class="std std-ref">LLM provider</span></a>.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Instance</strong>: An instance of the Arch gateway. When you start Arch it creates at most two processes. One to handle Layer 7
networking operations (auth, tls, observability, etc) and the second process to serve models that enable it to make smart
decisions on how to accept, handle and forward prompts. The second process is optional, as the model serving sevice could be
hosted on a different network (an API call). But these two processes are considered a single instance of Arch.</p>
<p><strong>Prompt Target</strong>: Arch offers a primitive called <a class="reference internal" href="../prompt_target.html#prompt-target"><span class="std std-ref">prompt target</span></a> to help separate business logic from undifferentiated
work in building generative AI apps. Prompt targets are endpoints that receive prompts that are processed by Arch.
For example, Arch enriches incoming prompts with metadata like knowing when a request is a follow-up or clarifying prompt
so that you can build faster, more accurate retrieval (RAG) apps. To support agentic apps, like scheduling travel plans or
sharing comments on a document - via prompts, Arch uses its function calling abilities to extract critical information from
the incoming prompt (or a set of prompts) needed by a downstream backend API or function call before calling it directly.</p>

<p><strong>Model Serving</strong>: Arch is a set of <cite>two</cite> self-contained processes that are designed to run alongside your application servers
(or on a separate hostconnected via a network).The <a class="reference internal" href="model_serving.html#model-serving"><span class="std std-ref">model serving</span></a> process helps Arch make intelligent decisions
about the incoming prompts. The model server is designed to call the (fast) purpose-built LLMs in Arch.</p>
<p><strong>Error Target</strong>: <a class="reference internal" href="error_target.html#error-target"><span class="std std-ref">Error targets</span></a> are those endpoints that receive forwarded errors from Arch when issues arise,
such as failing to properly call a function/API, detecting violations of guardrails, or encountering other processing errors.
These errors are communicated to the application via headers <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X-Arch-[ERROR-TYPE]</span></code>, allowing it to handle the errors gracefully
and take appropriate actions.</p>
