# MeshCore Protocol Specification
## Section 13: Payload — Raw Custom
### Overview
The RAW_CUSTOM payload carries application-defined raw bytes with no prescribed
structure. It is intended for applications that implement their own encryption,
framing, or payload formats on top of the MeshCore transport.
### Payload Type
Header payload type field: `0x0F` (RAW_CUSTOM)
### Wire Format
```
0
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Raw Data (1-184 bytes) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
```
### Fields
| Field | Offset | Size | Type | Description |
|-------|--------|------|------|-------------|
| data | 0 | 1-184 bytes | raw | Application-defined payload |
### Routing
In the current reference implementation, RAW_CUSTOM packets are only processed
when received via direct routing. They are NOT flood-routed.
### Constraints
- Payload MUST be at least 1 byte.
- Maximum payload: 184 bytes (MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD).
- Maximum total data: limited by `sizeof(Packet::payload)` which is
MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD (184).
### Cross-References
- Test vectors: `corpus/payloads/raw-custom/`
### Reference Implementation
- `Mesh::createRawData()` in `src/Mesh.cpp` — Encoding
- `Mesh::onRecvPacket()`, case `PAYLOAD_TYPE_RAW_CUSTOM` — Processing (direct only)
