Warrants

A service warrant contains:

• An optional service identifier corresponding to the provider of the service.
• A data block used only by the service and its netlets. This data block is opaque to the node.
• Binding information or a descriptor.
• An optional accounting type, one of the following:

  Internal

  The new netlet is to join the requestor's accounting group

  External

  The new netlet must have its own accounting group

A warrant may be digitally signed by the service provider--i.e. its principal.
