Description

Test suites should ideally use JSON for interoperability across virtually all languages.

Currently it appears that the test suites in https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/6-interfaces.md are in JS and Go.

There doesn't seem to be a suite/interface for NAT traversal and there isn't either for gossibsub, floodsub or multicast. Not sure off the top of my head what else is missing.

Additionally where using the same .proto protobuf file, this should make it easier for interoperability.

Research direction

Start by reading 6-interfaces.md and inspecting the existing JavaScript and Go test suites described there. Inventory the missing NAT traversal, gossipsub, floodsub, and multicast suites, then clarify which JSON and shared protobuf interoperability requirements are in scope. Done should be a defined, agreed suite/interface plan with explicit coverage and compatibility criteria.
