Binding: The process

When a warrant is bound, a descriptor will be determined for the netlet which is to provide the service. If the warrant contains a service identifier, then the descriptor must be signed by the service provider.

The descriptor is determined in one of three ways:

1. If there is a netlet already running which may be used to provide the service, that netlet will be used.
2. The warrant may contain the descriptor.
3. The dynamic binding process is used.

These process are discussed in the next three sections.
