The Pub/Sub topic pubtopic1 serves as a means of routing messages (the network employs a default Pub/Sub topic) and indicates that it is subscribed to messages on that topic for a relay. Node D serves as a Store and is responsible for storing messages.

1. Node A creates a WakuMessage msg1 with Content Topic contentTopic1.
2. Node F requests to get messages filtered by Pub/Sub topic pubtopic1 and Content Topic contentTopic1. Node D subscribes F to this filter and will forward messages that match that filter in the future.
3. Node A publishes msg1 on pubtopic1. The message is sent from Node A to Node B and then forwarded to Node D.
4. Node D, upon receiving msg1, stores the message for future retrieval by other nodes and forwards it to Node C.
5. Node D also pushes msg1 to Node F, informing it about the arrival of a new message.
6. At a later time, Node E comes online and requests messages matching pubtopic1 and contentTopic1 from Node D. Node D responds with msg1 and potentially other messages that match the query.
