Section 9.5. Joining states:
"In order to populate its neighbor table, JP sends a Ping via the
bootstrap node directed at Resource-ID n+1 (directly after its own
Resource-ID). This allows it to discover its own successor."
I have no idea how this could be accomplished. I would start from the
Joining Peer side with a Forwarding Header filled with a Destination List
containing the Resource-ID n+1, where I understand the ressource ID
is my hashed node id +1. So far so good, I send that to the bootstrap-
node. My intention would be to get the node id from my admitting peer
(successor). But Ping will only return failure or a little PingAns struct
with
no information about the node id where it comes from. The Via lists would
be empty as stated in 3.3. Routing. So I see no header information which
could give me the needed information.
What is my error in reasoning here?
TIA
Thomas
