 # Framing Layer
 
+This describes the lowest layer of the protocol, on which the
+[Message Layer](message.md) rests.
+
+This layer is named the "framing" layer, because its only purpose is to frame
+messages of higher layers and negotiate basic features for this use case.
+
 ## State Machine
 
 The framing layer has two possible states: `HANDSHAKE` and `CONNECTED`.
