 ### Server
 
-The server can listen on a port and will emit a `connection` event whenever a
-client connects.
+The `Server` class is responsible for listening on a port and waiting for new connections.
 
-### Connection
+Whenever a client connects, it will emit a `connection` event with a connection
+instance implementing [`ConnectionInterface`](#connectioninterface):
 
-The `Connection` is a readable and writable [`Stream`](https://github.com/reactphp/stream).
-The incoming connection represents the server-side end of the connection.
+```php
+$server->on('connection', function (ConnectionInterface $connection) {
+    …
+});
+```
+
+### ConnectionInterface
+
+The `ConnectionInterface` is used to represent any incoming connection.
+
+An incoming connection is a duplex stream (both readable and writable) that
+implements React's
+[`DuplexStreamInterface`](https://github.com/reactphp/stream#duplexstreaminterface)
+and contains only a single additional property, the remote address (client IP)
+where this connection has been established from.
 
+> Note that this interface is only to be used to represent the server-side end
+of an incoming connection.
 It MUST NOT be used to represent an outgoing connection in a client-side context.
 If you want to establish an outgoing connection,
 use the [`SocketClient`](https://github.com/reactphp/socket-client) component instead.
 
+Because the `ConnectionInterface` implements the underlying
+[`DuplexStreamInterface`](https://github.com/reactphp/stream#duplexstreaminterface)
+you can use any of its events and methods as usual:
+
+```php
+$connection->on('data', function ($chunk) {
+    echo $data;
+});
+
+$conenction->on('close', function () {
+    echo 'closed';
+});
+
+$connection->write($data);
+$connection->end($data = null);
+$connection->close();
+// …
+```
+
+For more details, see the
+[`DuplexStreamInterface`](https://github.com/reactphp/stream#duplexstreaminterface).
+
+#### getRemoteAddress()
+
+The `getRemoteAddress(): ?string` method returns the remote address
+(client IP) where this connection has been established from.
+
+```php
+$ip = $connection->getRemoteAddress();
+```
+
+It will return the remote address as a string value.
+If the remote address can not be determined or is unknown at this time (such as
+after the connection has been closed), it MAY return a `NULL` value instead.
+
