Before starting a new task, you generally do research so you can avoid mistakes. In
the computer realm, bootstrap sessions provide a head start and help you
minimize mistakes and surprises. As an example, to design a protocol stack, build
a bootstrap session so you can understand the protocol specification and the
system on which it...
