Thanks for the PR @hoijui. I understand that for a user these links might be helpful, but I am a bit hesitant to link Wikipedia articles on mDNS, Kademlia, etc because a) it's Wikipedia (I'd rather link reliable sources like RFCs, papers, etc) and b) we don't always follow the "official" protocol completely, but e.g. only implement a subset of the protocol features or include some libp2p-specific changes. So if we link anything, I think it would be best to just link the libp2p specs for each protocol. Or just add a general sentence that the details of each mentioned protocol can be found in https://github.com/libp2p/specs/. |

Notes & open questions
I am not very happy with the link for IPFS private swarm, but despite looking for 10+ min, I could not find a link that would fit better, and it is a term that laymen will unlikely understand.
