 ## Probe Protocols
-They also related to the probe group, for understand that, look [Concepts and Designs](../concepts-and-designs/overview.md) document.
-These groups are **Language based native agent protocol**, **Service Mesh protocol** and **3rd-party instrument protocol**.
-
-### Language based native agent protocol
-There are two types of protocols to make language agents work in distributed environments.
-1. **Cross Process Propagation Headers Protocol** and **Cross Process Correlation Headers Protocol** are in wire data format, 
-agent/SDK usually uses HTTP/MQ/HTTP2 headers
-to carry the data with rpc request. The remote agent will receive this in the request handler, and bind the context 
-with this specific request.
-1. **Trace Data Protocol** is out of wire data, agent/SDK uses this to send traces and metrics to skywalking or other
-compatible backend. 
-
-[Cross Process Propagation Headers Protocol v3](Skywalking-Cross-Process-Propagation-Headers-Protocol-v3.md) is the new protocol for 
-in-wire context propagation, started in 8.0.0 release.
