.SH INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS
.sp
BEP is used between two or more \fIdevices\fP thus forming a \fIcluster\fP\&. Each
device has one or more \fIfolders\fP of files described by the \fIlocal
model\fP, containing metadata and block hashes. The local model is sent to
the other devices in the cluster. The union of all files in the local
models, with files selected for highest change version, forms the
\fIglobal model\fP\&. Each device strives to get its folders in sync with the
global model by requesting missing or outdated blocks from the other
devices in the cluster.
.sp
File data is described and transferred in units of \fIblocks\fP, each being
128 KiB (131072 bytes) in size.
.sp
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.
.SH TRANSPORT AND AUTHENTICATION
.sp
BEP is deployed as the highest level in a protocol stack, with the lower
level protocols providing encryption and authentication.

.sp
The encryption and authentication layer SHALL use TLS 1.2 or a higher
revision. A strong cipher suite SHALL be used, with "strong cipher
suite" being defined as being without known weaknesses and providing
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS). Examples of strong cipher suites are
given at the end of this document. This is not to be taken as an
exhaustive list of allowed cipher suites but represents best practices
at the time of writing.
.sp
The exact nature of the authentication is up to the application, however
it SHALL be based on the TLS certificate presented at the start of the
connection. Possibilities include certificates signed by a common
trusted CA, preshared certificates, preshared certificate fingerprints
or certificate pinning combined with some out of band first
verification. The reference implementation uses preshared certificate
fingerprints (SHA\-256) referred to as "Device IDs".
.sp
There is no required order or synchronization among BEP messages except
as noted per message type \- any message type may be sent at any time and
the sender need not await a response to one message before sending
another.
.sp
The underlying transport protocol MUST be TCP.
.SH MESSAGES
.sp
Every message starts with one 32 bit word indicating the message version, type
and ID, followed by the length of the message. The header is in network byte
order, i.e. big endian. In this document, in diagrams and text, "bit 0" refers
to the \fImost significant\fP bit of a word; "bit 31" is thus the least
significant bit of a 32 bit word.

For BEP v1 the \fBVersion\fP field is set to zero. Future versions with
incompatible message formats will increment the Version field. A message
with an unknown version is a protocol error and MUST result in the
connection being terminated. A client supporting multiple versions MAY
retry with a different protocol version upon disconnection.
.sp
The \fBMessage ID\fP is set to a unique value for each transmitted Request
message. In Response messages it is set to the Message ID of the corresponding
Request message. The uniqueness requirement implies that no more than 4096
request messages may be outstanding at any given moment. For message types
that do not have a corresponding response (Cluster Configuration, Index, etc.)
the Message ID field is irrelevant and SHOULD be set to zero.
.sp
The \fBType\fP field indicates the type of data following the message header
and is one of the integers defined below. A message of an unknown type
is a protocol error and MUST result in the connection being terminated.
.sp
The \fBCompression\fP bit "C" indicates the compression used for the message.
.sp
For C=0:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
The Length field contains the length, in bytes, of the uncompressed
message data.
.IP \(bu 2
The message is not compressed.
.UNINDENT
.sp
For C=1:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
The Length field contains the length, in bytes, of the compressed
message data plus a four byte uncompressed length field.
.IP \(bu 2
The compressed message data is preceeded by a 32 bit field denoting
the length of the uncompressed message.
.IP \(bu 2
The message data is compressed using the LZ4 format and algorithm
described in \fI\%http://www.lz4.org/\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.sp
All data within the message (post decompression, if compression is in
use) MUST be in XDR (RFC 1014) encoding. All fields shorter than 32 bits
and all variable length data MUST be padded to a multiple of 32 bits.
The actual data types in use by BEP, in XDR naming convention, are the
following:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B (unsigned) int:
(unsigned) 32 bit integer
.TP
.B (unsigned) hyper:
(unsigned) 64 bit integer
.TP
.B opaque<>
variable length opaque data
.TP
.B string<>
variable length string
.UNINDENT
.sp
The transmitted length of string and opaque data is the length of actual
data, excluding any added padding. The encoding of opaque<> and string<>
are identical, the distinction being solely one of interpretation.
Opaque data should not be interpreted but can be compared bytewise to
other opaque data. All strings MUST use the Unicode UTF\-8 encoding,
normalization form C.
.SS Cluster Config (Type = 0)
.sp
This informational message provides information about the cluster
configuration as it pertains to the current connection. A Cluster Config
message MUST be the first message sent on a BEP connection. Additional
Cluster Config messages MUST NOT be sent after the initial exchange.

.sp
The \fBDevice Name\fP is a human readable (configured or auto detected) device
name or host name, for the sending device.
.sp
The \fBClient Name\fP and \fBClient Version\fP identifies the implementation. The
values SHOULD be simple strings identifying the implementation name, as a
user would expect to see it, and the version string in the same manner. An
example Client Name is "syncthing" and an example Client Version is "v0.7.2".
The Client Version field SHOULD follow the patterns laid out in the \fI\%Semantic
Versioning\fP <\fBhttp://semver.org/\fP> standard.
.sp
The \fBFolders\fP field contains the list of folders that will be synchronized
over the current connection.
.sp
The \fBOptions\fP field is a list of options that apply to the current
connection. The options are used in an implementation specific manner. The
options list is conceptually a map of keys to values, although it is
transmitted in the form of a list of key and value pairs, both of string type.
Key ID:s are implementation specific. An implementation MUST ignore unknown
keys. An implementation MAY impose limits on the length keys and values. The
options list may be used to inform devices of relevant local configuration
options such as rate limiting or make recommendations about request
parallelism, device priorities, etc. An empty options list is valid for
devices not having any such information to share. Devices MAY NOT make any
assumptions about peers acting in a specific manner as a result of sent
options.
.SS Fields (Folder Structure)

The \fBName\fP field is a human readable name assigned to the described device
by the sending device. It MAY be empty and it need not be unique.
.sp
The list of \fBAddressess\fP is that used by the sending device to connect to
the described device.
.sp
The \fBCompression\fP field indicates the compression mode in use for this
device and folder. The following values are valid:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B 0
Compress metadata. This enables compression of metadata messages such as Index.
.TP
.B 1
Compression disabled. No compression is used on any message.

The \fBCert Name\fP field indicates the expected certificate name for this
device. It is commonly blank, indicating to use the implementation default.
.sp
The \fBMax Local Version\fP field contains the highest local file
version number of the files already known to be in the index sent by
this device. If nothing is known about the index of a given device, this
field MUST be set to zero. When receiving a Cluster Config message with
a non\-zero Max Local Version for the local device ID, a device MAY elect
to send an Index Update message containing only files with higher local
version numbers in place of the initial Index message.

.SS Index (Type = 1) and Index Update (Type = 6)
.sp
The Index and Index Update messages define the contents of the senders
folder. An Index message represents the full contents of the folder and
thus supersedes any previous index. An Index Update amends an existing
index with new information, not affecting any entries not included in
the message. An Index Update MAY NOT be sent unless preceded by an
Index, unless a non\-zero Max Local Version has been announced for the
given folder by the peer device.

.SS Fields (FileInfo Structure)
.sp
The \fBName\fP is the file name path relative to the folder root. Like all
strings in BEP, the Name is always in UTF\-8 NFC regardless of operating
system or file system specific conventions. The Name field uses the
slash character ("/") as path separator, regardless of the
implementation\(aqs operating system conventions. The combination of Folder
and Name uniquely identifies each file in a cluster.

.B The lower 12 bits
hold the common Unix permission and mode bits. An
implementation MAY ignore or interpret these as is suitable on the
host operating system.
.TP
.B Bit 19 ("D")
is set when the file has been deleted. The block list
SHALL be of length zero and the modification time indicates the time
of deletion or, if the time of deletion is not reliably determinable,
the last known modification time.
.TP
.B Bit 18 ("I")
is set when the file is invalid and unavailable for
synchronization. A peer MAY set this bit to indicate that it can
temporarily not serve data for the file.
.TP
.B Bit 17 ("P")
is set when there is no permission information for the
file. This is the case when it originates on a file system which
does not support permissions. Changes to only permission bits SHOULD
be disregarded on files with this bit set. The permissions bits MUST
be set to the octal value 0666.
.TP
.B Bit 16 ("S")
is set when the file is a symbolic link. The block list
SHALL be of one or more blocks since the target of the symlink is
stored within the blocks of the file.
.TP
.B Bit 15 ("U")
is set when the symbolic links target does not exist. On
systems where symbolic links have types, this bit being means that
the default file symlink SHALL be used. If this bit is unset bit 19

The \fBModified\fP time is expressed as the number of seconds since the Unix
Epoch (1970\-01\-01 00:00:00 UTC).
.sp
The \fBVersion\fP field is a version vector describing the updates performed
to a file by all members in the cluster. Each counter in the version
vector is an ID\-Value tuple. The ID is used the first 64 bits of the
device ID. The Value is a simple incrementing counter, starting at zero.
The combination of Folder, Name and Version uniquely identifies the
contents of a file at a given point in time.
.sp
The \fBLocal Version\fP field is the value of a device local monotonic clock
at the time of last local database update to a file. The clock ticks on
every local database update.
.sp
The \fBBlocks\fP list contains the size and hash for each block in the file.
Each block represents a 128 KiB slice of the file, except for the last
block which may represent a smaller amount of data.
.sp
The hash algorithm is implied by the \fBHash\fP length. Currently, the hash
MUST be 32 bytes long and computed by SHA256.

.SH MESSAGE LIMITS
.sp
An implementation MAY impose reasonable limits on the length of messages
and message fields to aid robustness in the face of corruption or broken
implementations. These limits, if imposed, SHOULD NOT be more
restrictive than the following. An implementation should strive to keep
messages short and to the point, favouring more and smaller messages
over fewer and larger. For example, favour a smaller Index message
followed by one or more Index Update messages rather than sending a very
large Index message.

The connection is established and at 1. both peers send ClusterConfiguration
messages and then Index records. The Index records are received and both peers
recompute their knowledge of the data in the cluster. In this example, peer A
has four missing or outdated blocks. At 5 through 8 peer A sends requests for
these blocks. The requests are received by peer B, who retrieves the data from
the folder and transmits Response records (9 through 12). Device A updates
their folder contents and transmits an Index Update message (13). Both peers
enter idle state after 13. At some later time 14, the ping timer on device B
expires and a Ping message is sent. The same process occurs for device A at
15.
