Attestation subnets are used to propagate unaggregated attestations to subsections of the network. Their `Name`s are:
- `committee_index{subnet_id}_beacon_attestation` - These topics are used to propagate unaggregated attestations to the subnet `subnet_id` (typically beacon and persistent committees) to be aggregated before being gossiped to `beacon_aggregate_and_proof`. The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `attestation` on the subnet.
- _[REJECT]_ The attestation's committee index (`attestation.data.index`) is for the correct subnet.
- `beacon_attestation_{subnet_id}` - These topics are used to propagate unaggregated attestations to the subnet `subnet_id` (typically beacon and persistent committees) to be aggregated before being gossiped to `beacon_aggregate_and_proof`. The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `attestation` on the subnet.
- _[REJECT]_ The attestation is for the correct subnet (i.e. `compute_subnet_for_attestation(state, attestation) == subnet_id`).
- _[IGNORE]_ `attestation.data.slot` is within the last `ATTESTATION_PROPAGATION_SLOT_RANGE` slots (within a `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY` allowance) -- i.e. `attestation.data.slot + ATTESTATION_PROPAGATION_SLOT_RANGE >= current_slot >= attestation.data.slot` (a client MAY queue future attestations for processing at the appropriate slot).
- _[REJECT]_ The attestation is unaggregated -- that is, it has exactly one participating validator (`len([bit for bit in attestation.aggregation_bits if bit == 0b1]) == 1`).
- _[IGNORE]_ There has been no other valid attestation seen on an attestation subnet that has an identical `attestation.data.target.epoch` and participating validator index.

#### Attestations and Aggregation
Attestation broadcasting is grouped into subnets defined by a topic. The number of subnets is defined via `ATTESTATION_SUBNET_COUNT`. For the `committee_index{subnet_id}_beacon_attestation` topics, `subnet_id` is set to `index % ATTESTATION_SUBNET_COUNT`, where `index` is the `CommitteeIndex` of the given committee.
Attestation broadcasting is grouped into subnets defined by a topic. The number of subnets is defined via `ATTESTATION_SUBNET_COUNT`. The correct subnet for an attestation can be calculated with `compute_subnet_for_attestation`. `beacon_attestation_{subnet_id}` topics, are rotated through throughout the epoch in a similar fashion to rotating through shards in committees in Phase 1.
Unaggregated attestations are sent to the subnet topic, `committee_index{attestation.data.index % ATTESTATION_SUBNET_COUNT}_beacon_attestation` as `Attestation`s.
Unaggregated attestations are sent to the subnet topic, `beacon_attestation_{compute_subnet_for_attestation(state, attestation)}` as `Attestation`s.
Aggregated attestations are sent to the `beacon_aggregate_and_proof` topic as `AggregateAndProof`s.

Because Phase 0 does not have shards and thus does not have Shard Committees, there is no stable backbone to the attestation subnets (`beacon_attestation_{subnet_id}`). To provide this stability, each validator must:
