+#### Supported protocols
+
+A libp2p node SHOULD scope its set of supported protocols to the underlying
+physical connection to a peer. It MAY only support a protocol based on properties
+of a physical connection to e.g. limit the use of bandwidth-heavy protocols over
+a relayed or metered connection. A libp2p node MAY offer different sets of protocols
+to different peers. It MAY revoke or add the support for a protocol at any time,
+for example to only offer certain services after learning its NAT status on a connection.
+Therefore, libp2p nodes SHOULD NOT assume that the set of protocols on a connection
+is static.
