+
+## Implementation notes
+
+- spdy-transport always sends a SETTINGS frame as the first frame once the socket is open
+- the server requires a http `":method"` and `":path"` header. If they are not added on the client, `"GET"` and `"/"` are added by default
+
+## Interop
+
+`spdy-transport` is capable of interoping with other spdy framing layer implementations such as:
+
+- [spdystream](https://github.com/docker/spdystream), [example](/examples/spdystream-interop)
