# Mongoose Internals
Mongoose has single-threaded, event-driven, asynchronous, non-blocking core.
When mongoose server instance is created, it contains an information about
the configuration and the state of each connection:
struct mg_server {
sock_t listening_sock; // Listening socket
union socket_address lsa; // Listening socket address
struct linked_list_link active_connections;
struct linked_list_link uri_handlers;
char *config_options[NUM_OPTIONS];
...
};
A server instance is capable on listening on only one port. After creation,
a server instance has a list
of active connections, initially empty. It has a list of URI handlers,
initially empty, and configuration parameters. Configuration can be
altered by `mg_set_option()`, and new URI handlers could be added by
`mg_add_uri_handler()`.
