+
+Package connmgr implements a generic Bitcoin network connection manager.
+
+## Overview
+
+Connection Manager handles all the general connection concerns such as
+maintaining a set number of outbound connections, sourcing peers, banning,
+limiting max connections, tor lookup, etc.
+
+The package provides a generic connection manager which is able to accept
+connection requests from a source or a set of given addresses, dial them and
+notify the caller on connections. The main intended use is to initialize a pool
+of active connections and maintain them to remain connected to the P2P network.
+
+In addition the connection manager provides the following utilities:
+
+- Notifications on connections or disconnections
+- Handle failures and retry new addresses from the source
+- Connect only to specified addresses
+- Permanent connections with increasing backoff retry timers
+- Disconnect or Remove an established connection
+
+## Installation and Updating
