- fips-configuration.md: add node.identity.persistent parameter and three-tier identity resolution documentation - fips-intro.md: update ECN description from "reserves space" to reflect implemented hop-by-hop CE signaling - README.md: update transport list (UDP, TCP, Ethernet), add persistent identity mention
FIPS Design Documents
Protocol design specifications for the Federated Interoperable Peering System — a self-organizing encrypted mesh network built on Nostr identities.
Reading Order
Start with the introduction, then follow the protocol stack from bottom to top. After the stack, the mesh operation document explains how all the pieces work together. Supporting references provide deeper dives into specific topics.
