Service Discovery's inner workings

Hello,

I am in the early stages of designing a system to
serve distributed services and the questions are
mounting quickly.

Please, I would like to solve some silly doubts about
the inner working of the DiscoveryService. 

1) When I issue a "getRemoteAdvertisements" method
call, JXTA also retrieves the non expired
Advertisements currently in the cm besides sending the
remote retrieval command? Or should I *necessarily*
issue "getLocalAdvertisements" to retrieve that local
Advertisements?

2) If I keep sending periodical
"getRemoteAdvertisements" method calls each 2 min. or
so, this will cause a great impact on the network
performance?

3) If the peers that compose my application keep
sending periodical Advertisements to describe a set of
services they are providing, this can cause any kind
of network flooding or heavily impact the network
performance?

Thanks,
Edward
