It automatically maps Waku content topics to pubsub topics.

Clients and protocols building on Waku relay only see content topics, while Waku relay internally manages the mapping.

This provides both scaling as well as removes confusion about content and pubsub topics on the consumer side.

Content topics are mapped using [consistent hashing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_hashing).

Like with DHTs, the hash space is split into parts,

each covered by a Pubsub topic (mesh network) that carries content topics which are mapped into the respective part of the hash space.
