The Eclipse Data Plane Signaling specification defines an interoperable protocol for DSP control planes to communicate with data planes. The scope of the specification includes:
- A protocol for control planes to manage data transfers using a variety of wire protocols, ranging from HTTP-based to streaming event systems.
- A registry of data transfer types so that other projects can define non-clashing identifiers for those types.
- An associated TCK in the [Eclipse Dataspace TCK](https://github.com/eclipse-dataspacetck) project.
The following are out of scope for Eclipse Data Plane Signaling:
- The definition of specific wire protocol formats and data transfer types
- Any data plane implementation
