For BEP v1 the Version field is set to zero. Future versions with
For BEP v1 the \fBVersion\fP field is set to zero. Future versions with
incompatible message formats will increment the Version field. A message

retry with a different protocol version upon disconnection.

The Message ID 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 messages may be outstanding at any given moment. The
ordering requirement implies that a response to a given message ID also
means that all preceding messages have been received, specifically those
which do not otherwise demand a response. Hence their message ID:s may
be reused.
The \fBMessage ID\fP is set to a unique value for each transmitted Request

that do not have a corresponding response (Cluster Configuration, Index, etc.)

at 12.
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has four missing or outdated blocks.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.

.SH ANNOUNCEMENTS
.sp
A device should announce itself at startup. It does this by an HTTPS POST to
the announce server URL (with the path usually being "/", but this is of
course up to the discovery server). The POST has a JSON payload listing direct
connection addresses (if any) and relay addresses (if any):
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
{
direct: ["tcp://192.0.2.45:22000", "tcp://:22202"],
relays: [{"url": "relay://192.0.2.99:22028", "latency": 142}]
}
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
It\(aqs OK for either of the "direct" or "relays" fields to be either the empty
list (\fB[]\fP), \fBnull\fP, or missing entirely. An announcment with both fields missing
or empty is however not useful...
.sp
Any empty or unspecified IP addresses (i.e. addresses like \fBtcp://:22000\fP,
\fBtcp://0.0.0.0:22000\fP, \fBtcp://[::]:22000\fP) are interpreted as referring to
the source IP address of the announcement.
.sp
The device ID of the announcing device is not part of the announcement.
Instead, the server requires that the client perform certificate
authentication. The device ID is deduced from the presented certificate.
.sp
The server response is empty, with code \fB204\fP (No Content) on success. If no
certificate was presented, status \fB403\fP (Forbidden) is returned. If the
posted data doesn\(aqt conform to the expected format, \fB400\fP (Bad Request) is
returned.
.sp
In successfull responses, the server may return a
.nf
\(ga\(ga
.fi
Reannounce\-After"
.nf
\(ga\(ga
.fi
header
containing the number of seconds after which the client should perform a new
announcement.
.sp
In error responses, the server may return a \fBRetry\-After\fP header containing
the number of seconds after which the client should retry.
.sp
Performing announcements significantly more often than indicated by the
\fBReannounce\-After\fP or \fBRetry\-After\fP headers may result in the client being
throttled. In such cases the server may respond with status code \fB429\fP (Too
Many Requests).
.SH QUERIES
.sp
Queries are performed as HTTPS GET requests to the announce server URL. The
requested device ID is passed as the query parameter "device", in canonical
string form, i.e. \fBhttps://announce.syncthing.net/?device=ABC12345\-....\fP
.sp
Successfull responses will have status code \fB200\fP (OK) and carry a JSON payload
of the same format as the announcement above. The response will not contain
empty or unspecified addresses.
.sp
If the "device" query parameter is missing or malformed, the status code 400
(Bad Request) is returned.
.sp
If the device ID is of a valid format but not found in the registry, 404 (Not
Found) is returned.
.sp
If the client has exceeded a rate limit, the server may respond with 429 (Too
Many Requests).
