the arrival of a request at Arch from downtream clients. We follow the request until the corresponding

<p>How a request flows through the components in a network (including Arch) depends on the network’s topology.
|
||
Arch can be used in a wide variety of networking topologies. We focus on the inner operation of Arch below,
|
||
but briefly we address how Arch relates to the rest of the network in this section.</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>Downstream(Ingress)</strong> listeners take requests from upstream clients like a web UI or clients that forward
|
||
prompts to you local application responses from the application flow back through Arch to the downstream.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Upstream(Egress)</strong> listeners take requests from the application and forward them to LLMs.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>

|
||
</a>
|
||
<p>In practice, Arch can be deployed on the edge and as an internal load balancer between AI agents. A request path may
|
||
traverse multiple Arch gateways:</p>

<p>Arch is a set of <strong>two</strong> self-contained processes that are designed to run alongside your application servers
|
||
(or on a separate server connected to your application servers via a network). The first process is designated
|
||
to manage HTTP-level networking and connection management concerns (protocol management, request id generation,
|
||
header sanitization, etc.), and the other process is for <strong>model serving</strong>, which helps Arch make intelligent
|
||
decisions about the incoming prompts. The model server hosts the purpose-built LLMs to
|
||
manage several critical, but undifferentiated, prompt related tasks on behalf of developers.</p>
|
||
<p>The request processing path in Arch has three main parts:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="listener.html#arch-overview-listeners"><span class="std std-ref">Listener subsystem</span></a> which handles <strong>downstream</strong> and <strong>upstream</strong> request
|
||
processing. It is responsible for managing the downstream (ingress) and the upstream (egress) request
|
||
lifecycle. The downstream and upstream HTTP/2 codec lives here.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="prompt.html#arch-overview-prompt-handling"><span class="std std-ref">Prompt handler subsystem</span></a> which is responsible for selecting and
|
||
forwarding prompts <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">prompt_targets</span></code> and establishes the lifecycle of any <strong>upstream</strong> connection to a
|
||
hosted endpoint that implements domain-specific business logic for incoming promots. This is where knowledge
|
||
of targets and endpoint health, load balancing and connection pooling exists.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="model_serving.html#model-serving"><span class="std std-ref">Model serving subsystem</span></a> which helps Arch make intelligent decisions about the
|
||
incoming prompts. The model server is designed to call the purpose-built LLMs in Arch.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>The three subsystems are bridged with either the HTTP router filter, and the cluster manager subsystems of Envoy.</p>
|
||
<p>Also, Arch utilizes <a class="reference external" href="https://blog.envoyproxy.io/envoy-threading-model-a8d44b922310" rel="nofollow noopener">Envoy event-based thread model<svg fill="currentColor" height="1em" stroke="none" viewbox="0 96 960 960" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M188 868q-11-11-11-28t11-28l436-436H400q-17 0-28.5-11.5T360 336q0-17 11.5-28.5T400 296h320q17 0 28.5 11.5T760 336v320q0 17-11.5 28.5T720 696q-17 0-28.5-11.5T680 656V432L244 868q-11 11-28 11t-28-11Z"></path></svg></a>.
|
||
A main thread is responsible forthe server lifecycle, configuration processing, stats, etc. and some number of
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="threading_model.html#arch-overview-threading"><span class="std std-ref">worker threads</span></a> process requests. All threads operate around an event loop (<a class="reference external" href="https://libevent.org/" rel="nofollow noopener">libevent<svg fill="currentColor" height="1em" stroke="none" viewbox="0 96 960 960" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M188 868q-11-11-11-28t11-28l436-436H400q-17 0-28.5-11.5T360 336q0-17 11.5-28.5T400 296h320q17 0 28.5 11.5T760 336v320q0 17-11.5 28.5T720 696q-17 0-28.5-11.5T680 656V432L244 868q-11 11-28 11t-28-11Z"></path></svg></a>)
|
||
and any given downstream TCP connection will be handled by exactly one worker thread for its lifetime. Each worker
|
||
thread maintains its own pool of TCP connections to upstream endpoints.</p>
|
||
<p>Worker threads rarely share state and operate in a trivially parallel fashion. This threading model
|
||
enables scaling to very high core count CPUs.</p>

|
||
<p>A brief outline of the lifecycle of a request and response using the example configuration above:</p>
|
||
<ol class="arabic simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>TCP Connection Establishment</strong>:
|
||
A TCP connection from downstream is accepted by an Arch listener running on a worker thread.
|
||
The listener filter chain provides SNI and other pre-TLS information. The transport socket, typically TLS,
|
||
decrypts incoming data for processing.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Prompt Guardrails Check</strong>:
|
||
Arch first checks the incoming prompts for guardrails such as jailbreak attempts. This ensures
|
||
that harmful or unwanted behaviors are detected early in the request processing pipeline.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Intent Matching</strong>:
|
||
The decrypted data stream is deframed by the HTTP/2 codec in Arch’s HTTP connection manager. Arch performs
|
||
intent matching via is <strong>prompt-handler</strong> subsystem using the name and description of the defined prompt targets,
|
||
determining which endpoint should handle the prompt.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Parameter Gathering with Arch-Function</strong>:
|
||
If a prompt target requires specific parameters, Arch engages Arch-FC to extract the necessary details
|
||
from the incoming prompt(s). This process gathers the critical information needed for downstream API calls.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>API Call Execution</strong>:
|
||
Arch routes the prompt to the appropriate backend API or function call. If an endpoint cluster is identified,
|
||
load balancing is performed, circuit breakers are checked, and the request is proxied to the upstream endpoint.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Default Summarization by Upstream LLM</strong>:
|
||
By default, if no specific endpoint processing is needed, the prompt is sent to an upstream LLM for summarization.
|
||
This ensures that responses are concise and relevant, enhancing user experience in RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
|
||
and agentic applications.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Error Handling and Forwarding</strong>:
|
||
Errors encountered during processing, such as failed function calls or guardrail detections, are forwarded to
|
||
designated error targets. Error details are communicated through specific headers to the application:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X-Function-Error-Code</span></code>: Code indicating the type of function call error.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X-Prompt-Guard-Error-Code</span></code>: Code specifying violations detected by prompt guardrails.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Additional headers carry messages and timestamps to aid in debugging and logging.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Response Handling</strong>:
|
||
The upstream endpoint’s TLS transport socket encrypts the response, which is then proxied back downstream.
|
||
Responses pass through HTTP filters in reverse order, ensuring any necessary processing or modification before final delivery.</p></li>

||

|
||
<p>A brief outline of the lifecycle of a request and response in the context of egress traffic from an application to Large Language Models (LLMs) via Arch:</p>
|
||
<ol class="arabic simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>HTTP Connection Establishment to LLM</strong>:
|
||
Arch initiates an HTTP connection to the upstream LLM service. This connection is handled by Arch’s egress listener
|
||
running on a worker thread. The connection typically uses a secure transport protocol such as HTTPS, ensuring the
|
||
prompt data is encrypted before being sent to the LLM service.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Rate Limiting</strong>:
|
||
Before sending the request to the LLM, Arch applies rate-limiting policies to ensure that the upstream LLM service
|
||
is not overwhelmed by excessive traffic. Rate limits are enforced per client or service, ensuring fair usage and
|
||
preventing accidental or malicious overload. If the rate limit is exceeded, Arch may return an appropriate HTTP
|
||
error (e.g., 429 Too Many Requests) without sending the prompt to the LLM.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Load Balancing to (hosted) LLM Endpoints</strong>:
|
||
After passing the rate-limiting checks, Arch routes the prompt to the appropriate LLM endpoint.
|
||
If multiple LLM providers instances are available, load balancing is performed to distribute traffic evenly
|
||
across the instances. Arch checks the health of the LLM endpoints using circuit breakers and health checks,
|
||
ensuring that the prompt is only routed to a healthy, responsive instance.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Response Reception and Forwarding</strong>:
|
||
Once the LLM processes the prompt, Arch receives the response from the LLM service. The response is typically a
|
||
generated text, completion, or summarization. Upon reception, Arch decrypts (if necessary) and handles the response,
|
||
passing it through any egress processing pipeline defined by the application, such as logging or additional response filtering.</p></li>
