 Three subsystems make up JupyterHub:
 
-- a multi-user **Hub** (tornado process)
-- a configurable http **proxy** (node-http-proxy)
-- multiple **single-user Jupyter notebook servers** (Python/IPython/tornado)

 JupyterHub's basic flow of operations includes:
 
 - The Hub spawns a proxy
 - The proxy forwards all requests to the Hub by default
 - The Hub handles user login and spawns single-user servers on demand
-- The Hub configures the proxy to forward URL prefixes to the single-user
-  notebook servers
