# Metadata Protocol
|
|
|
|
Waku specifies a req/resp protocol that provides information about the node's medatadata. Such metadata is meant to be used
|
|
by the node to decide if a peer is worth connecting or not. The node that makes the request, includes its metadata
|
|
so that the receiver is aware of it, without requiring an extra interaction. The parameters are the following:
|
|
* `clusterId`: Unique identifier of the cluster that the node is running in.
|
|
* `shards`: Shard indexes that the node is subscribed to.
|
|
