As shown in Figure

and Figure

, the client's node plays a central role during service binding. Binding proceeds as shown in algorithm

$\begin{algorithm} % latex2html id marker 351\begin{enumerate} \item Service is... ...erface to client. \end{enumerate}\par\caption{ Binding algorithm}\end{algorithm}$

$\begin{algorithm} % latex2html id marker 361An access point netlet that was in... ...{enumerate}\par\caption{ Decide whether access point is reusable}\end{algorithm}$
No assumption should be made by netlets that two bind request to the same service arrive at the same access point
