 ## 2. Extend ipv-proxy
-In its original state, the ipv-proxy could only do "manual" forwarding.
-Therefore I first extended it, to support different backends for performing the actual forwarding.
-It also now supports multiple addresses for consul, which it will try round-robin style, until one works.
+In its original state, the ipv-proxy could only do "manual" forwarding and connect to a single consul address, which both needs to be reworked.
+
+The first change, was to add support for different backends that perform the actual forwarding.
+Previously it was pretty hard-coded how the forwarding worked, but now all the behaviour for the forwarding is abstracted away and the core logic just
+gets something that knows how to do all the forwarding specific stuff.
+This allowed me to easily add a jool backend, which just needs to implement the corresponding trait and integrate it into CLI, but the rest of the logic is left untouched.
+Another benefit, that I hope to utilize soon, is that I can also pass in dummy/mock/test implementations for forwarding, to test the core logic and its interaction with the forwarding.
+
+The second change, was more subtle and in the pursuit of better reliability, as it now supports having multiple consul addresses.
+Previously one could only pass a single address and if that had issues, then the ipv-proxy was basically not working anymore.
+However now, I can pass the addresses of all my consul servers and it will try all of them until one responds, which means I no longer have a single point of failure in this regard.
