Abstract
<a class="anchor" href="#abstract">#</a>
</h1>
<p>This document describes how to scale <a href="/spec/56/">56/STATUS-COMMUNITIES</a> as well as <a href="/spec/55/">55/STATUS-1TO1-CHAT</a>
using existing Waku v2 protocols and components.
It also adds a few new aspects, where more sophisticated components are not yet researched and evaluated.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>Note:</em> (Parts of) this RFC will be deprecated in the future as we continue research to scale specific components
in a way that aligns better with our principles of decentralization and protecting anonymity.
This document informs about scaling at the current stage of research and shows it is practically possible.
Practical feasibility is also a core goal for us.
We believe in incremental improvement, i.e. having a working decentralized scaling solution with trade-offs is better than a fully centralized solution.</p>

Background and Motivation
<a class="anchor" href="#background-and-motivation">#</a>
</h1>
<p><a href="/spec/56/">56/STATUS-COMMUNITIES</a> as well as <a href="/spec/55/">55/STATUS-1TO1-CHAT</a> use Waku v2 protocols.
Both use Waku content topics (see <a href="/spec/23/">23/WAKU2-TOPICS</a>) for content based filtering.</p>
<p>Waku v2 currently has scaling limitations in two dimensions:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Messages that are part of a specific content topic have to be disseminated in a single mesh network (i.e. pubsub topic).
This limits scaling the number of messages disseminated in a specific content topic,
and by extension, the number of active nodes that are part of this content topic.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Scaling a large set of content topics requires distributing these over several mesh networks (which this document refers to as pubsub topic shards).</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>This document focuses on the second scaling dimension.
With the scaling solutions discussed in this document,
each content topics can have a large set of active users, but still has to fit in a single pubsub mesh.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>Note:</em> While it is possible to use the same content topic name on several shards,
each node that is interested in this content topic has to be subscribed to all respective shards, which does not scale.
Splitting content topics in a more sophisticated and efficient way will be part of a future document.</p>
</blockquote>

Relay Shards
<a class="anchor" href="#relay-shards">#</a>
</h1>
<p>Sharding the <a href="/spec/11/">Waku Relay</a> network is an integral part of scaling the Status app.</p>
<p><a href="/spec/51/">51/WAKU2-RELAY-SHARDING</a> specifies shards clusters, which are sets of <code>1024</code> shards (separate pubsub mesh networks).
Content topics specified by application protocols can be distributed over these shards.
The Status app protocols are assigned to shard cluster <code>16</code>,
as defined in <a href="/spec/52/">52/WAKU2-RELAY-STATIC-SHARD-ALLOC</a>.</p>
<p><a href="/spec/51/">51/WAKU2-RELAY-SHARDING</a> specifies three sharding methods.
This document uses <em>static sharding</em>, which leaves the distribution of content topics to application protocols,
but takes care of shard discovery.</p>
<p>The 1024 shards within the main Status shard cluster are allocated as follows.</p>
<h2 id="shard-allocation">
Shard Allocation
<a class="anchor" href="#shard-allocation">#</a>
</h2>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>shard index</th>
<th>usage</th>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td>0 - 15</td>

<p>Shard indices are mapped to pubsub topic names as follows (specified in <a href="/spec/51/">51/WAKU2-RELAY-SHARDING</a>).</p>
<p><code>/waku/2/rs/&lt;shard_cluster_index&gt;/&lt;shard_number&gt;</code></p>
<p>an example for the shard with index <code>18</code> in the Status shard cluster:</p>
<p><code>/waku/2/rs/16/18</code></p>
<p>In other words, the mesh network with the pubsub topic name <code>/waku/2/rs/16/18</code> carries messages associated with shard <code>18</code> in the Status shard cluster.</p>
<h3 id="implementation-suggestion">
Implementation Suggestion
<a class="anchor" href="#implementation-suggestion">#</a>
</h3>
<p>The Waku implementation should offer an interface that allows Status nodes to subscribe to Status specific content topics like</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>subscribe(&#34;/status/xyz&#34;, 16, 18)
</code></pre><p>The shard cluster index <code>16</code> can be kept in the Status app configuration,
so that Status nodes can simply use</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>subscribe(&#34;/status/xyz&#34;, 18)
</code></pre><p>which means: connect to the <code>&quot;status/xyz&quot;</code> content topic on shard <code>18</code> within the Status shard cluster.</p>
<h2 id="status-communities">
Status Communities
<a class="anchor" href="#status-communities">#</a>
</h2>
<p>In order to associate a community with a shard,
the community description protobuf is extended by the field
<code>uint16 relay_shard_index = 15</code>:</p>

<p>Waku messages are typically relayed in larger mesh networks comprised of nodes with varying resource profiles (see <a href="/spec/30/">30/ADAPTIVE-NODES</a>).
To maximise scaling, relaying of specific message types can be dedicated to shards where only infrastructure nodes with very strong resource profiles relay messages.

Control Message Shards

<p>To get the maximum scaling for select large communities for the Status scaling MVP,
specific control messages that cause significant load (at a high user number) SHOULD be moved to a separate control message shard.
These control messages comprise:</p>
<ul>
<li>community description</li>
<li>membership update</li>
<li>backup</li>
<li>community request to join response</li>
<li>sync profile picture</li>

Desktop clients should use light protocols as the default for control message shards.
Strong Desktop clients MAY opt in to support the relay network.</p>
<p>Each large community (in the index range of <code>16 - 127</code>) can get its dedicated control message shard (in the index range <code>896 - 1023</code>) if deemed necessary.
The Status CC community uses shard <code>896</code> as its control message shard.

DoS Protection
<a class="anchor" href="#dos-protection">#</a>
</h1>
2023-04-12 10:06:32 +00:00
<p>Hereunder we describe the &ldquo;opt-in message signing for DoS prevention&rdquo; solution, designed <em>ad hoc</em> for Status MVP.</p>
<p>Since publishing messages to pubsub topics has no limits, anyone can publish messages at a very high rate and DoS the network.
This would elevate the bandwidth consumption of all nodes subscribed to said pubsub topic, making it prohibitive (in terms of bandwidth) to be subscribed to it.
In order to scale, we need some mechanism to prevent this from happening, otherwise all scaling efforts will be in vain.
Since RLN is not ready yet, hereunder we describe a simpler approach designed <em>ad hoc</em> for Status use case, feasible to implement for the MVP and that validates some of the ideas that will evolve to solutions such as RLN.</p>
<p>With this approach, certain pubsub topics can be optionally configured to only accept messages signed with a given key, that only trusted entities know.
This key can be pre-shared among a set of participants, that are trusted to make fair usage of the network, publishing messages at a reasonable rate/size.
Note that this key can be shared/reused among multiple participants, and only one key is whitelisted per pubsub topic.
This is an opt-in solution that operators can choose to deploy in their shards (i.e. pubsub topics), but it&rsquo;s not enforced in the default one.
Operators can freely choose how they want to generate, and distribute the public keys. It&rsquo;s also their responsibility to handle the private key, sharing it with only trusted parties and keeping proper custody of it.</p>
<p>The following concepts are introduced:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>private-key-topic</code>: A private key of 32 bytes, that allows the holder to sign messages and it&rsquo;s mapped to a <code>protected-pubsub-topic</code>.</li>
<li><code>app-message-hash</code>: Application <code>WakuMessage</code> hash, calculated as <code>sha256(concat(pubsubTopic, payload, contentTopic))</code> with all elements in bytes.</li>
<li><code>message-signature</code>: ECDSA signature of <code>application-message-hash</code> using a given <code>private-key-topic</code>, 64 bytes.</li>
<li><code>public-key-topic</code>: The equivalent public key of <code>private-key-topic</code>.</li>
<li><code>protected-pubsub-topic</code>: Pubsub topic that only accepts messages that were signed with <code>private-key-topic</code>, where <code>verify(message-signature, app-message-hash, public-key-topic)</code> is only correct if the <code>message-signature</code> was produced by <code>private-key-topic</code>. See ECDSA signature verification algorithm.</li>
</ul>
<p>This solution introduces two roles:</p>
<ul>
<li>Publisher: A node that knows the <code>private-key-topic</code> associated to <code>public-key-topic</code>, that can publish messages with a valid <code>message-signature</code> that are accepted and relayed by the nodes implementing this feature.</li>
<li>Relayer: A node that knows the <code>public-key-topic</code>, which can be used to verify if the messages were signed with the equivalent <code>private-key-topic</code>. It allows distinguishing valid from invalid messages which protect the node against DoS attacks, assuming that the users of the key send messages of a reasonable size and rate. Note that a node can validate messages and relay them or not without knowing the private key.</li>
