Description
We should have a concept doc about protocol negotiation that describes the high-level need, with details about how multistream is used throughout the libp2p stack.
We should emphasize that multistream is not directly related to multiplexing, but note that multiplexed streams do use multistream to identify the protocol used by each "inner stream".
Related concepts:
- transport
- stream multiplexing
