+Hub
+===
+
+A service providing data collection, processing, persistence, filtering and retrieval.
+
+It accepts data via unix domain sockets and REST API, either stores it persistently in
+a SQL database or caches it in-memory and queried for data through a REST API.
+
+Unix domain sockets accept data in the same format as the REST API but are stateful
+and use the information provided from the init message as specified in doc/protocol.md
