Re: DHT specification questions

Hello,

After reading the message format Wiki page, I need to change the followin
question:

:* What is the SecurityToken? How does one compute it?

Indeed, on first reading I had missed the fact that a FIND_NODE would
return the SecurityToken.

So I now understand what I need to do to generate a SecurityToken.  What
I do not know however is this:

* Are all STORE required to provide a valid SecurityToken?
* What is the lifetime of a SecurityToken?  A minute, a node session?
* Shouldn't there by an explicit error code on STORE (say 0x3) to signal
  to the remote node that the SecurityToken is rejected?  This gives a
  chance to the node to get the new SecurityToken (e.g. if the lifetime
  of the token is the session and the remote node went down and restarted).

My belief is that to make republishing efficient, the lifetime of the
token should be the remote node's session (i.e. once acquired, the
token will enable many store requests).

Comments on that from LimeWire?
