### Direct use of libp2p protocols
In addition to `/vac/waku/*` protocols, Waku v2 MAY directly use the following libp2p protocols:
* [libp2p ping protocol](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/protocols/#ping) with protocol id
```
/ipfs/ping/1.0.0
```
for liveness checks between peers, or to keep peer-to-peer connections alive.
* [libp2p identity and identity/push](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/protocols/#identify) with protocol IDs
```
/ipfs/id/1.0.0
```
and
```
/ipfs/id/push/1.0.0
```
respectively, as basic means for capability discovery.
These protocols are anyway used by the libp2p connection establishment layer Waku v2 is built on.
We plan to introduce a new Vac capability discovery protocol with better anonymity properties and more functionality.

Waku v2 is built in top of libp2p, and like libp2p it strives to be transport agnostic. Waku v2 is built in top of libp2p, and like libp2p it strives to be transport agnostic.
