+# `dmsg`
+
+## Terminology
+
+- **entity -** A service of `dmsg` (typically being part of an executable running on a machine).
+- **entity type -** The type of entity. `dmsg` has three entity types; `dmsg.Server`, `dmsg.Client`, `dmsg.Discovery`.
+- **entry -** A data structure that describes an entity and is stored in `dmsg.Discovery` for entities to access.
+- **frame -** The data unit of the `dmsg` system.
+- **frame type -** The type of `dmsg` frame. There are four frame types; `REQUEST`, `ACCEPT`, `CLOSE`, `FWD`, `ACK`.
+- **connection -** The direct line of duplex communication between a `dmsg.Server` and `dmsg.Client`.
+- **transport -** A line of communication between two `dmsg.Client`s that is proxied via a `dmsg.Server`.
+- **transport ID -** A uint16 value that identifies a transport.
+
+## Frames
+
+Frames have two sections; the header and the payload.
+
+```
+|| FrameType | TransportID | PayloadSize || Payload ||
+|| 1 byte    | 2 bytes     | 2 bytes     || ~ bytes ||
+```
+
+
+
+## Entities
+
+The `dmsg` system is made up of three entity types:
+- `dmsg.Discovery` is a RESTful API that allows `dmsg.Client`s to find remote `dmg.Client`s and `dmsg.Server`s.
+- `dmsg.Server` proxies frames between clients.
+- `dmsg.Client` establishes transports between itself and remote `dmsg.Client`s.
+
+### `dmsg.Discovery`
+
+Only 3 endpoints need to be defined; Get Entry, Post Entry, and Get Available Servers.
+
+#### GET Entry
+
+Obtains a messaging node's entry.
+
+> `GET {domain}/discovery/entries/{public_key}`
+
+**REQUEST**
+
+Header:
+
+```
+Accept: application/json
+```
+
+**RESPONSE**
+
+Possible Status Codes:
+
+- Success (200) - Successfully updated record.
+
+  - Header:
+
+    ```
+    Content-Type: application/json
+    ```
+
+  - Body:
+
+    > JSON-encoded entry.
+
+- Not Found (404) - Entry of public key is not found.
+
+- Unauthorized (401) - invalid signature.
+
+- Internal Server Error (500) - something unexpected happened.
+
+#### POST Entry
+
+Posts an entry and replaces the current entry if valid.
+
+> `POST {domain}/discovery/entries`
+
+**REQUEST**
+
+Header:
+
+```
+Content-Type: application/json
+```
+
+Body:
+
+> JSON-encoded, signed Entry.
+

+Possible Response Codes:
+
+- Success (200) - Successfully registered record.
+- Unauthorized (401) - invalid signature.
+- Internal Server Error (500) - something unexpected happened.
+
+#### GET Available Servers
+
+Obtains a subset of available server entries.
+
+> `GET {domain}/discovery/available_servers`
+
+**REQUEST**
+
+Header:
+
+```
+Accept: application/json
+```
+
+**RESPONSE**
+
+Possible Status Codes:
+
+- Success (200) - Got results.

+
+  - Body:
+
+    > JSON-encoded `[]Entry`.
