# Electra -- Networking
|
|
|
|
This document contains the consensus-layer networking specification for Electra.
|
|
|
|
The specification of these changes continues in the same format as the network specifications of previous upgrades, and assumes them as pre-requisite.

## Modifications in Electra
|
|
|
|
### The gossip domain: gossipsub
|
|
|
|
Some gossip meshes are upgraded in the fork of Electra to support upgraded types.
|
|
|
|
#### Topics and messages
|
|
|
|
Topics follow the same specification as in prior upgrades.
|
|
|
|
The `beacon_block` topic is modified to also support Electra blocks.
|
|
|
|
The `beacon_aggregate_and_proof` and `beacon_attestation_{subnet_id}` topics are modified to support the gossip of the new attestation type.
|
|
|
|
The specification around the creation, validation, and dissemination of messages has not changed from the Capella document unless explicitly noted here.
|
|
|
|
The derivation of the `message-id` remains stable.
|
|
|
|
#### Global topics
|
|
|
|
##### `beacon_aggregate_and_proof`
|
|
|
|
The following convenience variables are re-defined
|
|
- `index = get_committee_indices(aggregate.committee_bits)[0]`
|
|
|
|
The following validations are added:
|
|
* [REJECT] `len(committee_indices) == 1`, where `committee_indices = get_committee_indices(aggregate)`.
|
|
* [REJECT] `aggregate.data.index == 0`
|
|
|
|
#### Attestation subnets
|
|
|
|
##### `beacon_attestation_{subnet_id}`
|
|
|
|
The following convenience variables are re-defined
|
|
- `index = get_committee_indices(attestation.committee_bits)[0]`
|
|
|
|
The following validations are added:
|
|
* [REJECT] `len(committee_indices) == 1`, where `committee_indices = get_committee_indices(attestation)`.
|
|
* [REJECT] `attestation.data.index == 0`
|
