3.2.7.1 Resolving a Key

  • Article

The rules for resolving a key are specified in section 3.1.4.4. In addition, whenever a Publisher resolves a key and its Locally Registered Key List is not empty, it MUST do the following.

If no InitialBestMatchRouteEntry is supplied and PickBestMatchFromLocalIds is set, the Publisher MUST generate a ROUTE_ENTRY for the nearest locally registered key and store it as the CurrentBestMatch when initializing the resolve entry.

The first entry in the ResolvePath MUST be (any) one of the network endpoints in the Publisher's Local Endpoint List. This prevents other nodes from referring this node back to itself.
