A new handshake resets the sync +key, the reply the swarm ID and the responder's key. Sync messages don't repeat the +swarm ID: the handshake bound the peer to it. A new handshake resets the sync session on both sides; HELLOs carry the handshake's number, so a resent HELLO (its reply was lost) or a late copy is answered without resetting again. A node that doesn't know its swarm yet (it is joining itself) doesn't answer a HELLO; the sender retries. |
