Re: [Handle-info] Some questions about bootstrap

(1) The 0.0/0.0 handle record contains certificate information which is currently used internally by DONA and the MPAs. It is possible that in the future use of this might be more widespread as a way for clients to validate signed handle records.

0.NA/0.NA contains information about the GHR servers, via both HS_SITE values and HS_SERV values.

(2) Legacy clients only looked at HS_SITE values in the 0.NA/0.NA; current clients also use HS_SERV values. Sites which are only referenced via HS_SERV will not be used by legacy clients. I do not have information about why certain sites are specifically made available to legacy clients.

(3) In an HS_SITE "alt_addr" can be used to indicate a second IP address; notably it is used to indicate that a site is reachable over both IPv4 and IPv6.

I suggest you contact your MPA for more specifics about the structure of the GHR.

HI:
I read the handle service boot file (bootstrap_handles) , and I have some questions:
1 What's the use of the handle 0.NA/0.NA and 0.0/0.0?
2 I found that some GHR site information was configured into 0.NA/0.NA, such as: 0.ghr /22 (Saudi Arabia GHR).
However, some sites are not configured into 0.NA/0.NA, such as 0.ghr /86(CHC MPA).
Why?
3 What is this field (alt_addr) used for?

Thank you !
