### (Info, remove this section)
|
||||
|
||||
This section contains meta info about writing specifications.
|
||||
This section (including its subsections) MUST be removed.
|
||||
|
||||
[COSS](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/1/) explains the Vac RFC process.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tags
|
||||
|
||||
The `tags` metadata SHOULD contain a list of tags if applicable.
|
||||
|
||||
* `core` for Waku protocol definitions
|
||||
* `application` for applications built on top of Waku protocol,
|
||||
* `informational` for general guidelines, background information etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Abstract
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Background / Rationale / Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
This section serves as an introduction providing background information and a motivation/rationale for the specification.
|
||||
|
||||
## Theory / Semantics
|
||||
|
||||
This section SHOULD explain in detail how the proposed protocol works.
|
||||
It may touch on the wire format where necessary for the explanation.
|
||||
This section MAY also specify endpoint behaviour when receiving specific messages, e.g. the behaviour of certain caches etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wire Format Specification / Syntax
|
||||
The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”,
|
||||
“NOT RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).
|
||||
|
||||
This section SHOULD not contain explanations of semantics and focus on concisely defining the wire format.
|
||||
Implementations SHOULD adhere to these exact formats to interoperate with other implementations.
|
||||
It is fine, if parts of the previous section that touch on the wire format are repeated.
|
||||
The purpose of this section is having a concise definition of what an implementation sends and accepts.
|
||||
Parts that are not specified here are considered implementation details.
|
||||
Implementors are free to decide on how to implement these details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Suggestions (optional)
|
||||
An optional *implementation suggestions* section may provide suggestions on how to approach implementation details, and,
|
||||
if available, point to existing implementations for reference.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## (Further Optional Sections)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Security/Privacy Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
If there are none, this section MAY state that fact.
|
||||
This section MAY contain additional relevant information, e.g. an explanation as to why there are no security consideration for the respective document.
