Service sessions

Services are provided directly by the hosting node (Figure [*]), or indirectly by another netlet through the hosting node (Figure [*]).7

Service Interfaces are bound by the node after presentation of a warrant by the Initiator of the bind operation. The target is always a service, i.e. it is not possible to bind to a specific netlet.
