“On the wire, each label is stored with its length in front, 3 api 11 thenodebook 3 com 0, and the final 0 marks the end of the name, where the last dot would go.”
Am I the only one that doesn’t think of this as ‘api.thenodebook.com.’? What does the LLM mean by the zero after .com marking where the last dot would go?
- rcxdude 2mo agoThe last '.' is essentially the equivalent of the first '/' in a file path: it refers to the root of the DNS and marks it as an absolute name (otherwise, in principle, it could be treated as relative even though it usually is not outside of the DNS machinery).
