Service: Hosting

 
Provides the ability to create identities, delete identities, form a hosting association between two identities, and manage a hosting association.Identities receive messages via communication channels (i.e., a URI bound to a connector for a specific transport protocol.) A hosting association is formed when an identity (the hosted identity) wants to share communication channels managed by another identity (the host identity). A host identity manages the set of communication channels for a community of identities at the same location. An identity can either have its own communication channels (self-hosted) or share those of another host identity. If there are many identities at the same location, a host identity adds efficiency.
