But new members (or those that have been offline for a while) can't join, existing members can't be de-authorized, and other changes to the network's configuration can't be made. This means that short "glitches" in controller availability are not a major problem but long periods of unavailability can be. Because controllers are just regular ZeroTier nodes and controller queries are in-band, controllers can trivially be moved without worrying about changes to underlying physical IPs. This makes high-availability fail-over very easy to implement. |
