# Abstract

Filter spec.
`WakuFilter` is a protocol that enables subscribing to messages that a peer receives. This is a more lightweight version of `WakuRelay` specifically designed for bandwidth restricted devices. This is due to the fact that light nodes subscribe to full-nodes and only receive the messages they desire.

### Content filtering
# Content filtering

**Protocol identifier***: `/vac/waku/filter/2.0.0-alpha6`
**Protocol identifier***: `/vac/waku/filter/2.0.0-beta1`

Content filtering is a way to do [message-based
filtering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern#Message_filtering).
Currently the only content filter being applied is on `contentTopic`. This
corresponds to topics in Waku v1.

native lower latency scenarios such as instant messaging. It is thus

protocol to query for a recent time window, provided it is acceptable to do
frequent polling.

#### Protobuf

TODO Consider adding a FilterResponse acting as a form of ACK

TODO Consider adding request id

TODO Clarify if Messages or a list of WakuMessage are pushed

TODO Specify unsubscribe mechanism and semantics

TODO Investigate if we need a way to communicate (handshake?) that we are a a client - server (full node - light node) or not.
NOTE I would imagine this is implied from the contentFilter, especially as two nodes can play multiple roles.

A node MUST send all Filter messages (`FilterRequest`, `MessagePush`) wrapped inside a

Filter protocol is not a request response based protocol but instead a push based system.

The `request_id` MUST be a uniquely generated string.

##### FilterRequest

TODO Specify mechanism for telling it won't honor (normal-no service-spam case)
The `requestId` MUST be a uniquely generated string. When a `MessagePush` is sent
the `requestId` MUST match the `requestId` of the `FilterRequest` whose filters
matched the message causing it to be pushed.

TODO Clarify exactly what we mean by connection and TTL
#### FilterRequest

A node that sends the RPC with a filter request requests that the filter node
SHOULD notify the light requesting node of messages matching this filter.

A filter node that has received a filter request SHOULD push all messages that
