In networks with changing topology and trustless connectivity, nodes need a way to establish

At the same time we establish an efficient encrypted channel. The setup of this is relatively cheap in
|

terms of bandwidth, so it can be used just for a short exchange, and then recreated as needed, which will
|

also rotate encryption keys, but the link can also be kept alive for longer periods of time, if this is
|
||||
more suitable to the application. The amount of bandwidth used on keeping a link open is practically
|
||||
negligible. The procedure also inserts the *link id* , a hash calculated from the link request packet,
|
||||
into the memory of forwarding nodes, which means that the communicating nodes can thereafter reach each
|
||||
other simply by referring to this *link id*.

Pathfinding in Detail

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The pathfinding method builds on the *announce* functionality discussed earlier. When an announce

is sent out by a node, it will be forwarded by any node receiving it, but according to some specific
