Thx for the document link. It is indeed a good paper (thx tra and Mohamed :-).

So my conclusion is, after entering 'rdvstatus' in the Shell (as edge peer) in
section "Peer View" all rdvs known to my rdv are listed (including itself), i.e.
the peer view of the rdv I'm connected to (section "Rendezvous Connections").
The "up" and "down" attributes indicate the ordering in the peer view (as
described in the paper) - from its point of view.

As there may be only two rdvs (my rdv and one other) my rdv may also have the
attribute up or down which probably means - as there is in fact no third known
rdv - that my rdv is the end of the RPV list. In my opinion this is a little bit
confusing.

My remaining problem is I'm always connected to only _one_ rdv (section
"Rendezvous Connections:"). Can I change the one rdv I'm connected to?
When I use "rdv -connect" with another rdv from my peer view (not the one I'm
already connected to) nothing changes because the shell responses "Already
connected".

thx, Joerg
