+## Error Handling
+
+The library provides comprehensive error handling with Go 1.13+ error wrapping:
+
+```go
+import (
+    "errors"
+    go_i2cp "github.com/go-i2p/go-i2cp"
+)
+
+// Check for specific errors
+if err := client.Connect(); err != nil {
+    if errors.Is(err, go_i2cp.ErrConnectionClosed) {
+        // Handle connection closed
+    } else if errors.Is(err, go_i2cp.ErrAuthenticationFailed) {
+        // Handle auth failure
+    }
+}
+
+// Extract typed errors for context
+var msgErr *go_i2cp.MessageError
+if errors.As(err, &msgErr) {
+    log.Printf("Message type %d failed: %v", msgErr.MessageType, msgErr.Err)
+}
+
+// Check if errors are temporary (retryable)
+if go_i2cp.IsTemporary(err) {
+    // Retry operation
+}
+
+// Check if errors are fatal (connection should close)
+if go_i2cp.IsFatal(err) {
+    client.Disconnect()
+}
+```
+
+Available sentinel errors:
+- `ErrSessionInvalid` - Session invalid or closed
+- `ErrConnectionClosed` - TCP connection closed
+- `ErrAuthenticationFailed` - Authentication failure
+- `ErrTimeout` - Operation timeout
+- `ErrNotConnected` - Not connected to router
+- And 15+ more covering all I2CP scenarios
+
+See `errors.go` for the complete list of error types and utilities.
+
