Hi there
I have hard time understanding the mechanism described in 10.7.4.4
(Detecting Partitioning) [1]:
> P SHOULD then send a Ping for its own Node-ID routed through B.
> If a response is received from peer S', which is not P's successor,
> then the overlay is partitioned
How is it even possible? Given the Symmetric Recursive Routing, the
Ping answer will always come from node B.
I tried to grasp through the RFC about special routing rules of Ping
answers, but I didn't find anything special
except the statement in 6.1.2 (Other ID) [2] which I *fail* to
understand:
> The node MUST implement support for
> returning responses to a Ping or Attach request made by a Joining
> Node Attaching to its responsible peer
"made by a Joining Node Attaching to its responsible peer"? What does
that mean exactly? Why is "Attaching"
with a capital letter?
