| description | Expert knowledge of Interledger RFC 0001 - Architecture specification. Use when users ask about Interledger architecture, protocol layers, payment routing, ledger abstraction, or overall system design. Triggers on questions about "how Interledger works", "ILP architecture", "protocol stack", or architectural concepts. |
RFC 0001: Interledger Architecture
Overview
Provides expert guidance on Interledger Protocol architecture including the layer model, payment routing, connector design, and ledger abstraction as specified in RFC 0001.
Core Capabilities
1. Architecture Explanation
Answer questions about Interledger's layered architecture and design principles using the MCP tool:
mcp__interledger_org-v4_Docs__search_rfcs_documentation
Search with queries like:
- "interledger architecture layers"
- "protocol stack design"
- "ledger abstraction model"
2. Protocol Layer Guidance
Explain the different protocol layers (Application, Transport, Interledger, Ledger) and their responsibilities.
3. Payment Routing
Describe how payments are routed through connectors across different ledgers.
4. Integration Advice
Help users understand how to integrate with the Interledger architecture.
Common Topics
- Layer model and separation of concerns
- Connector architecture and responsibilities
- Routing and forwarding mechanisms
- Ledger abstraction principles
- End-to-end payment flows
