1. Introduction
Mesh Presence Protocol (MPP) is a UDP publish/subscriber protocol.
Devices subscribed to an event notification service associated with
an account receive UDP notification of events posted to that channel.
This service may be used to provide subscribing devices with
immediate of an event without the need for polling.
Uses of the presence service include notifying a device that an
inbound synchronous communication session has been requested, receipt
of an asynchronous message, updates to a Mesh catalog, etc.
MPP provides NAT traversal capabilities similar to those provided by
STUN . Combining these capabilities with a presence service avoids
the need for a separate service. [rfc8489]
All MPP packets are encapsulated as RUD datagrams. Messages from the
client to the service are limited to a single packet. Messages from
the service to the client may contain between 1 and 16 packets.

2.1. Related Specifications
The Mesh Callsign registry is a component part of the Mathematical
Mesh [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture] and makes use of the data
formats and service formats described therein. In particular:
Uniform Data Fingerprint [draft-hallambaker-mesh-udf]. Describes the
UDF format used to represent cryptographic nonces, keys and
content digests in the Mesh and the use of Encrypted Authenticated
Resource Locators (EARLs) and Strong Internet Names (SINs) that
build on the UDF platform.
Data at Rest Encryption [draft-hallambaker-mesh-dare]. Describes the
cryptographic message and append-only sequence formats used in
Mesh applications and the Mesh Service protocol.
JSON-BCD Encoding [draft-hallambaker-jsonbcd]. Describes extensions
to the JSON serialization format to allow direct encoding of
binary data (JSON-B), compressed encoding (JSON-C) and extended
binary data encoding (JSON-D). Each of these encodings is a
superset of the previous one so that JSON-B is a superset of JSON,
JSON-C is a superset of JSON-B and JSON-D is a superset of JSON-C.
2.2. Defined Terms
This document makes use of the terms defined in
[draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture].
2.3. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2.4. Implementation Status
The implementation status of the reference code base is described in
the companion document [draft-hallambaker-mesh-developer].
The examples in this document were created on 10/14/2024 1:11:02 PM.
Out of 250 examples, 48 failed.
