The high level design of Zefina is simple, as with most high level designs.

1. Bundles flow into Zefina Service from a data source.
2. The Zefina Service will determine where the Bundle needs to go:
   • Send the bundle data to a register App
   • Send the bundle to the next hop towards the destination
3. Zefina-based Apps will send and receive data with the Zefina Service

Zefina Interface Design Document

The final design pieces, easily overlooked but just as important, is the protocol between the Zefina Application and Zefina Service. The Zefina Interface Design Document provides information for custom applications and even different languages to communicate directly with the Zefina Service.
