The `Layer` trait can be used to write reusable components that can be applied to very different kinds of services; for example, it can be applied to services operating on different protocols, and to both the client and server side of a network transaction. ## License This project is licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE). ### Contribution Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in Tower by you, shall be licensed as MIT, without any additional terms or conditions.
