This specification defines an abstract framework for building a chat protocol. Its purpose is to name the components, and define modular boundaries between components to promote reuse. The end result is that a chat protocol implementation can be described by listing its approach to 5 problem areas.
This specification defines an abstract framework for building a chat protocol. Its purpose is to name the distinct components/phases, and define modular boundaries between them to promote reuse. The end result is that a chat protocol implementation can be described by listing its approach to 5 things.
The chat protocol is decomposed into 3 distinct phases.
The lifecycle of a protocol instance is divided into three phases:
- **Discovery:** How does a Sender learn of other clients.
- **Initialization:** How does a Recipient learn a client wants to communicate with them.
- **Operation:** How do participants exchange content.
and transport details are divided into:
and transport details are divided into 2 components:
- **Delivery Service:** How are payloads routed and delivered to a client.
- **Framing Strategy:** How are payloads encoded.

A framing strategy should define a common payload type as well as a method to determine which state machine a receiving client must use to decode it.
## Protocol Components
## Protocol Phases
In order to exchange content clients must be able to learn of each others existence, gather the pre-requisite information/parameters and, remain synchronized over time.
