**Protocol identifier**: `/vac/waku/lightpush/2.0.0-alpha1`
# Motivation and goals
Light nodes with short connection windows and limited bandwidth wish to publish messages into the Waku network.
Additionally, there sometimes is a need for confirmation that a message has been received "by the network".
`19/LIGHTPUSH` is a request/reply protocol for this.
# Payloads
```protobuf
message PushRequest {
string pubsub_topic = 1;
WakuMessage message = 2;
}
message PushResponse {
boolean is_success = 1;
// Error messages, etc
string info = 2;
}
message PushRPC {
string request_id = 1;
PushRequest query = 2;
PushResponse response = 3;
}
```
## Message relaying
Nodes that respond to `PushRequests` MUST relay this via `RELAY` protocol on the specified `pubsub_topic`.
If they are unable to do so for some reason, they SHOULD return an error code in `PushResponse`.
