## The protocol path ## The protocol path
`multicodec` allows us to specify different protocols in a universal namespace, that way being able to recognize, multiplex, and embed them easily. We use the notion of a `path` instead of an `id` because it is meant to be a Unix-friendly URI. `multicodec` allows us to specify different protocols in a universal namespace, that way being able to recognize, multiplex, and embed them easily.
