Hi,
From subversion(04) draft:
3.5.2. Joining, Leaving, and Maintenance Overview
The first thing the peer needs to do is form a connection to some
"bootstrap node".
10.5. Contacting a Bootstrap Peer
When contacting a bootstrap peer, the joining peer sends a Ping
request to the bootstrap peer's known IP address with the destination
Node-ID set to the joining peer's Node-ID
When the requester peer finally does receive a response from some
responding peer, it can note the Node-ID in the response and use this
Node-ID to start sending requests to join the Overlay Instance as
described in
There are two problems here, the first is simply terminology.
3.5.2 uses "bootstrap node"
10.5 uses "bootstrap peer"
The second, 10.5 does not mention forming a connection and looks as if
it was based on a UDP bootstrap mechanism or the multicast bootstrap
(10.4). Am I correct that 10.5 is attempting to refer to 3.5.2 and
that 10.5 should clear up the fact that your forming a connection to a
bootstrap peer and not simply sending a datagram to bootstrap nodes
and waiting for responses?
REgaRDs,
Julian
