3.1.1 Abstract Data Model
This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.
A server implementation must maintain the following data element:
MaxResponses: This value indicates the maximum number of Target Services about which a Target Service host can respond to a client in a Probe Match message. The constraint placed by the MaxResponses value is not applicable to Resolve Match messages.
