Request an address claim

[johekb]

Is it possible from application side to force a new address claim sequence to start?

It depends on what you want to achieve here.

Do you:

1. Want to send a request for the address claim PGN to the global address so that everyone else claims?

Or

2. Want to restart an internal control function's actual claim process for some reason?

Both of these would be a bit unusual, though.

Thanks for the answer.
I would like to do number 1 as you describe above. What I would like to achieve is to make sure that the network participants are still available. I.e. how can I detect if a participants is disconnected. I know that there are application level protocols like status and heartbeat messages but I would like to achieve it on network level.
