Gossipsub v1.3 uses a single stream per direction for all RPCs. This introduces some problems: unnecessary head of line blocking between messages (especially problematic when a large message in one topic delays small messages in another topic) and topic name overhead on each message.

The Topic Streams Extension addresses these problems. It moves topic scoped application messages to separate long-lived streams.
