# FIPS Design Documents
|
|
|
|
Protocol design specifications and analysis for the Federated Interoperable Peering System.
|
|
|
|
## Suggested Reading Order
|
|
|
|
Start with the high-level architecture, then work through session flow, routing
|
|
concepts, and finally the wire-level protocol details.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Introduction and Overview

### 3. Routing (How Packets Find Their Way)
|
|
|
|
| Document | Description |

|
|
| [fips-gossip-protocol.md](fips-gossip-protocol.md) | Wire formats: TreeAnnounce, FilterAnnounce, Lookup messages |
|
|
|
|
### 4. Link Layer (How Peer Connections Work)
|
|
|
|
| Document | Description |
|
|
|------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| [fips-wire-protocol.md](fips-wire-protocol.md) | Transport layer: Noise IK, session indices, roaming, security |
|
|

|
## Implementation
|
|
|
|
| Document | Description |
|
|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| [fips-software-architecture.md](fips-software-architecture.md) | Software architecture: entities, state machines, configuration |
|
|
| [fips-tun-driver.md](fips-tun-driver.md) | TUN interface driver: reader/writer threads, ICMPv6, packet flow |
