| `REQ_RESP_MAX_SIZE` | `TODO` | The maximum size of uncompressed req/resp messages that clients will allow. |
| `SSZ_MAX_LIST_SIZE` | `TODO` | The maximum size of SSZ-encoded variable lists. |
| `GOSSIP_MAX_SIZE` | `2**20` (= 1048576, 1 MiB) | The maximum size of uncompressed gossip messages. |
| `SHARD_SUBNET_COUNT` | `TODO` | The number of shard subnets used in the gossipsub protocol. |
| `TTFB_TIMEOUT` | `5s` | The maximum time to wait for first byte of request response (time-to-first-byte). |

- `ssz_snappy` - All objects are SSZ-encoded and then compressed with [Snappy](https://github.com/google/snappy). Example: The beacon attestation topic string is `/beacon_attestation/ssz_snappy`, and the data field of a gossipsub message is an `Attestation` that has been SSZ-encoded and then compressed with Snappy.

Implementations MUST use a single encoding. Changing an encoding will require coordination between participating implementations.

The token of the negotiated protocol ID specifies the type of encoding to be used for the req/resp interaction. Two values are possible at this time:
- `ssz`: The contents are [SSZ-encoded](#ssz-encoding). This encoding type MUST be supported by all clients.
- `ssz`: the contents are [SSZ-encoded](#ssz-encoding). This encoding type MUST be supported by all clients. For objects containing a single field, only the field is SSZ-encoded not a container with a single field. For example, the `BeaconBlocks` response would be an SSZ-encoded list of `BeaconBlock`s. All SSZ-Lists in the Req/Resp domain will have a max-list size of `SSZ_MAX_LIST_SIZE`.
- `ssz_snappy`: The contents are SSZ-encoded and then compressed with [Snappy](https://github.com/google/snappy). MAY be supported in the interoperability testnet; MUST be supported in mainnet.
