+
+The gRPC project defines conventions for [OpenTelemetry Metrics](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A66-otel-stats.md)
+and experimental conventions for [OpenTelemetry Tracing](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A72-open-telemetry-tracing.md).
+
+These conventions differ from the [OpenTelemetry gRPC](/docs/rpc/grpc.md) conventions
+hosted in this repository.
+
+This document provides mappings (where applicable) between the OpenTelemetry
+conventions hosted in this repository and the native gRPC conventions.
+
+## Metrics
+
+See the [gRPC conventions](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A66-otel-stats.md)
+and the [OpenTelemetry conventions](/docs/rpc/rpc-metrics.md) for details.
+
+### Metric mapping
+

+| `grpc.client.attempt.rcvd_total_compressed_message_size` | no equivalent              |                                                               |
+| `grpc.server.call.started`                               | no equivalent              |                                                               |

+
+### Attribute mapping
+
+| gRPC attribute     | OpenTelemetry attribute(s)         | Conversion comments  |
+| :----------------- | :--------------------------------- | :------------------- |
+| `grpc.method`      | `rpc.method`                       | gRPC -> OTel: When the value is `other`, replace it with `_OTHER`<br>OTel -> gRPC: When the value is `_OTHER`, replace it with `other` |
+| `grpc.status`      | `rpc.response.status_code`         | |
+| `grpc.target`      |                                    | gRPC -> OTel: Drop<br>OTel -> gRPC: Set `grpc.target` to `{server.address}[:{server.port}]` |
+|                    | `server.address` and `server.port` | gRPC -> OTel: Parse the address and port from `grpc.target`<br>OTel -> gRPC: Drop |
+|                    | `rpc.system.name`                  | gRPC -> OTel: Set to `grpc`<br>OTel -> gRPC: Drop |
+|                    | `error.type`                       | gRPC -> OTel: Set to `rpc.response.status_code` when it indicates an error (see [gRPC OpenTelemetry conventions](/docs/rpc/grpc.md))<br>OTel -> gRPC: Drop |
+
+## Spans
+
+See the [gRPC conventions](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A72-open-telemetry-tracing.md)
+and the [OpenTelemetry conventions](/docs/rpc/rpc-spans.md) for details.
+
+The gRPC conventions define two types of **client** spans: call and attempt.
+The gRPC call span maps to the OpenTelemetry RPC client span. Both span types cover the end-to-end duration
+of the client call. OpenTelemetry does not define a per-attempt span.
+
+In the case of **server** spans, both the gRPC and OpenTelemetry conventions define one
+per-call server span.

+| Span status code        | `ERROR` when the response status code is not `OK`                | `ERROR` for specific error status codes (see the [gRPC OpenTelemetry conventions](/docs/rpc/grpc.md)) | gRPC -> OTel: Parse `rpc.response.status_code` from the status description and set the span status code accordingly<br>OTel -> gRPC: Set based on `rpc.response.status_code`<br> |
+| Span status description | Code and description (e.g., `UNAVAILABLE, unable to resolve host`)| Description only (the error code is recorded separately)                    | |
+| Attributes              |                                                                  | `rpc.system.name`                                                            | gRPC -> OTel: set to `grpc`<br>OTel -> gRPC: drop |

+
+### Additional attributes
+
+OpenTelemetry defines a few other (non-required) gRPC span attributes listed below. When converting from gRPC spans to OpenTelemetry spans, these attributes should not be set. When converting from
+OpenTelemetry to gRPC, they should be preserved.
+
+- `network.peer.address`
+- `network.peer.port`
+- `server.address`
+- `server.port`
+- `rpc.request.metadata.<key>` and `rpc.response.metadata.<key>`
+- `rpc.method_original`
+- (server spans only) `client.address` and `client.port`
+
+### Events
+
+gRPC spans may contain additional events that should be recorded as-is when converting to
+OpenTelemetry.
