+# ethwire
+
+The ethwire package contains the ethereum wire protocol. The ethwire
+package is required to write and read from the ethereum network.
+
+# Installation
+
+`go get github.com/ethereum/ethwire-go`
+
+# Messaging overview
+
+The Ethereum Wire protocol defines the communication between the nodes
+running Ethereum. Further reader reading can be done on the
+[Wiki](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Wire_Protocol).
+
+# Reading Messages
+
+```go
+// Read and validate the next eth message from the provided connection.
+// returns a error message with the details.
+msg, err := ethwire.ReadMessage(conn)
+if err != nil {
+  // Handle error
+}
+```
+
+# Writing Messages
+
+```go
+// Constructs a message which can be interpreted by the eth network.
+// Write the inventory to network
+err := ethwire.WriteMessage(conn, &Msg{
+  Type: ethwire.MsgInvTy,
+  Data : []interface{}{...},
+})
+```
