# 2.1.2 - Client Architecture
We had a brief look at MINA based Server Architecture, lets see how Client looks like. Clients need to connect to a Server, send message and process the responses.
![](../../../staticresources/images/mina/clientdiagram.png)
* Client first creates an IOConnector (MINA Construct for connecting to Socket), initiates a bind with Server
* Upon Connection creation, a Session is created and is associated with Connection
* Application/Client writes to the Session, resulting in data being sent to Server, after traversing the Filter Chain
* All the responses/messages received from Server are traverses the Filter Chain and lands at IOHandler, for processing
