A host defined by you and resolved only by you |
{% include disclaimer.html translated="no" translationOutdated="no" %}
The Basics
A locally-unique host is a FQDN defined by you and resolved only by you; similar to how a hosts file is implemented. Not to be confused with @canonically-unique-host.
In-depth information
You have the option to share your interpretation of how the host is resolved (e.g., localhost
always resolves to 127.0.0.1
) but the resolution is not canonically enforced (e.g., someone else can map localhost
to any arbitrary IP address).
Hosts in a public subscription can be considered @canonically-unique-host's within the I2P network but, ultimately, you are free to re-define them as you wish.
Notes
- Monero primarily uses @canonically-unique-host resolution while I2P only uses @locally-unique-host resolution.
- I2P's and @Kovri's assigned top-level domain is currently
.i2p
and @Kovri intends to only process/use the.i2p
top-level domain
