-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A lifetime value is sent in both FetchKindResponse and StatKindResponse but there is no explanation about what this value should contain.
If it is the value that was sent in the StoreReq, then this value is useless for the node that will receive it, as it is not relative to the storage_time field, and so cannot be used to know when to re-store the resource record. So it would make sense that this field contains the *remaining* lifetime for the resource record (using an algorithm similar to what is in section 6.4.1.1), but it is not explicitly said in the spec, so there will be variations in implementations, and interoperability problems for implementations that will count on using this field as the remaining lifetime. - -- Marc Petit-Huguenin Personal email: [email protected] Professional email: [email protected] Blog: http://blog.marc.petit-huguenin.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk5QSpgACgkQ9RoMZyVa61c5aQCgmEh1sK5e3qYxZVLMK5xpPt35 RQYAnRTseKflyht1DuEJ6Z/NJfdnowWD =bJmD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
