 ====== MOSH Protocol Specification (v1 Draft) ======
 ===== Overview =====
-MOSH (Modern Offline Smart Home) is a lightweight, transport-agnostic messaging protocol designed for embedded systems and distributed smart-home environments.
-The protocol is optimized for:
-  * Small microcontrollers (e.g., ATmega128)
-  * Deterministic parsing
-  * Minimal memory usage
-  * Transport independence (nRF24, ESP-NOW, UART, etc.)
-  * Decentralized operation (no required central coordinator)
 MOSH separates responsibilities into:
   * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core|Core System]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:element_manager|Element Manager]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:message_router|Message Router]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:node_manager|Node Manager]]
     * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:state_manager|State Manager]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:system_services|System Services]]
     * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:transport_manager|Transport Manager]]
-    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:node_manager|Node Manager]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:trust_manager|Trust Manager]]
-    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:element_manager|Element Manager]]
     * [[mosh:protocol:layers:core:vwire_manager|Virtual Wire Manager]]
   * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport|Transport Layer]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:addressing|Addressing]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:duplicate_detection|Duplicate Detection]]
     * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:framing|Framing]]
     * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:fragmentation|Fragmentation]]
-    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:reliability|Delivery]]
+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:medium_adapter|Medium Adapter]]
     * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:reliability|Reliability]]

+    * [[mosh:protocol:layers:transport:ttl_hop_handling|TTL/Hop Handling]]
-===== Frame Structure =====
-A MOSH frame is a maximum 1470 bytes. Depending on the transport, frames can/will be segmented if the frames length is longer than the [[.:transports:transport_maximums|transport maximum]].
-All MOSH packets follow this structure:
-| Header (12 Btyes) |
-| Payload |
-| Footer (CRC16) (2 Bytes) |
-===== Header Layout (12 Bytes) =====
-^ Field                 ^ Length (Bytes) ^ Description ^
-| Start of Frame       | 1   | Fixed marker for frame synchronization |
-| TTL                  | 1   | Time-to-live (decremented on forwarding) |
-| Message ID           | 2   | Unique ID per message (for ACK/retry/dedupe) |
-| Version + Flags      | 1   | Upper 4 bits = protocol version, lower 4 bits = flags |
-| Source Address       | 2   | 6-bit Network ID + 10-bit Node ID |
-| Destination Address  | 2   | 6-bit Network ID + 10-bit Node ID |
-| Context              | 1   | Message domain (SYSTEM/NODE/ELEMENT/VWIRE) |
-| Op Code              | 1   | Operation within context |
-| Payload Length       | 1   | Length of payload in bytes |
-===== Footer (2 Bytes) =====
-^ Field ^ Size (Bytes) ^ Description ^
-| CRC16 | 2   | Frame integrity check |
------
-===== Version and Flags =====
-==== Version (Upper Nibble) ====
-Protocol version (0–15).
-==== Flags (Lower Nibble) ====
-^ Bit ^ Name          ^ Description ^
-| 0   | ACK_REQUIRED  | Sender requests acknowledgment |
-| 1   | ACK           | Frame is an acknowledgment     |
-| 2   | IS_RETRY      | Frame is a retransmission      |
-| 3   | RESERVED      | Reserved for future use        |
------
-===== Addressing =====
-Each address field is 16 bits:
-[ Network ID (6 bits) | Node ID (10 bits) ]
-==== Network ID ====
-  * Range: 0–63
-  * Used to segment MOSH domains
-==== Node ID ====
-  * Range: 0–1023
-  * Unique within a network
------
-===== Context and Op Codes =====
-The Context byte determines which core manager processes the payload.
-^ Value ^ Context  ^ Description ^
-| 0     | [[mosh:protocol:op_codes:system_op_codes|Core]]   | Core/system messages (discovery, sync, error) |
-| 1     | [[mosh:protocol:op_codes:node_op_codes|Node]]       | Node-level operations |
-| 2     | [[mosh:protocol:op_codes:element_op_codes|Element]] | Element-level operations |
-| 3     | [[mosh:protocol:op_codes:vwire_op_codes|VWire]]     | Virtual wire messaging |
-| 4–7   | RESERVED | Future expansion |
------
-===== Payload =====
-The payload format will vary based on the various [[mosh:protocol:message_library|message types]].
-The transport layer does not interpret payload contents.
