This document provides an overview of RabbitMQ internals. It discusses how RabbitMQ uses AMQP and Erlang to provide a messaging broker. Key components include tcp_listener and tcp_acceptor which use prim_inet:async_accept to handle connections, one_for_all and simple_one_for_one supervisors, gen_server2 and priority_queue for request handling, rabbit_log for logging, and rabbit_error_logger which integrates with gen_event. Testing is done with rabbit_tests and common_test/EUnit frameworks.
