An Extension to the REsource LOcation And Discovery Protocol to Support Direct Response Routing

Overview

RFC 7263, “An Extension to the REsource LOcation And Discovery Protocol to Support Direct Response Routing”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2014 by N. Zong, X. Jiang, R. Even, Y. Zhang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines an optional extension to the REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) protocol to support the direct response routing mode. RELOAD recommends symmetric recursive routing for routing messages. The new optional extension provides a shorter route for responses, thereby reducing overhead on intermediate peers. This document also describes potential cases where this extension can be used.
