:::tip
Until [node incentivisation](/overview/reference/research-in-progress#prevention-of-denial-of-service-dos-and-node-incentivisation) is in place, you should [operate extra nodes](/guides/nodes-and-sdks#run-a-waku-node) alongside the ones provided by the Waku Network. When running a node, we recommend using the [DNS Discovery and Static Peers](/guides/js-waku/configure-discovery#configure-dns-discovery-and-static-peers) configuration to connect to both the Waku Network and your node.

title: Send and Receive Messages Using Light Push and Filter

This guide provides detailed steps to start using the `@waku/sdk` package by setting up a Light Node to send messages using the [Light Push protocol](/overview/concepts/protocols#light-push), and receive messages using the [Filter protocol](/overview/concepts/protocols#filter). Have a look at the [installation guide](/guides/js-waku/#installation) for steps on adding `@waku/sdk` to your project.

title: Manage Your Filter Subscription
title: Manage Your Filter Subscriptions
---

This guide provides detailed steps to manage [filter subscriptions](/overview/concepts/protocols#filter) and handle node disconnections in your application. Have a look at the [Filter guide](/guides/js-waku/light-send-receive) for receiving messages with the `Filter protocol`.
This guide provides detailed steps to manage [Filter](/overview/concepts/protocols#filter) subscriptions and handle node disconnections in your application. Have a look at the [Filter guide](/guides/js-waku/light-send-receive) for receiving messages with the `Light Push and Filter protocol`.

## Overview

Occasionally, your `Filter` subscriptions might disconnect from the Waku Network, resulting in messages not being received by your application. To manage your subscriptions, periodically ping peers to check for an active connection. The error message `"peer has no subscriptions"` indicates a failed ping due to disconnection. You can stop the pings if the disconnection/unsubscription is deliberate.

```mdx-code-block
import FilterPingFlow from "@site/diagrams/_filter-ping-flow.md";
<FilterPingFlow />
```

## Pinging Filter Subscriptions

The `@waku/sdk` package provides a `Filter.ping()` function to ping subscriptions and check for an active connection. To begin, create a `Filter` subscription:

```js
// Create a Filter subscription
const subscription = await node.filter.createSubscription();

// Subscribe to content topics and process new messages
await subscription.subscribe([decoder], callback);
```

Next, create a function to ping and reinitiate the subscription:

```js
const pingAndReinitiateSubscription = async () => {
try {
// Ping the subscription
await subscription.ping();
} catch (error) {
if (
// Check if the error message includes "peer has no subscriptions"
error instanceof Error &&
error.message.includes("peer has no subscriptions")
) {
// Reinitiate the subscription if the ping fails
await subscription.subscribe([decoder], callback);
} else {
throw error;
}
}
};

// Periodically ping the subscription
await pingAndReinitiateSubscription();
```

:::success Congratulations!
You have successfully managed your `Filter` subscriptions to handle node disconnections in your application.
