 [xds-agent](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent) is a client tool that must run
 on your machine (user / developer host) to be able to use XDS.
+You should establish the following chain:

+Client (eg. `xds-cli` or XDS Dashboard) and `xds-agent` is running on your machine
+and `xds-server` is running on a remote server and/or in a container.
+Exchanges between these 3 tools are done though HTTP and Websocket protocols
+and default url/port mentioned in schema below can be change using config files.

 optional and depends of what you want to do :
