Peers
For DUNDi to work, each DUNDi client has to know at least one other DUNDi client. Since these DUNDi clients belong to the same network, they are called peers. Also at least one of the reachable peers must know how to reach the wanted extension.
In the DUNDi configuration one can limit the number of consecutive lookups between peers by setting the TTL.
- A TTL of 1 means you only can ask the peers you know and they cannot ask further.
- A TTL of n means that the peer you ask for a lookup can redirect your lookup to the peers it knows, only with a TTL of n-1.
