### Service "bootstrap.Bootstrap"
Bootstrap service allows neofs-node to connect to the network. Node should
perform at least one bootstrap request in the epoch to stay in the network
for the next epoch.

```
rpc Process(Request) returns (SpreadMap);

```

#### Method Process

Process is method that allows to register node in the network and receive actual netmap

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Process | [Request](#bootstrap.Request) | [SpreadMap](#bootstrap.SpreadMap) |

### Message Request



| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| type | [int32](#int32) |  | Type is NodeType, can be InnerRingNode (type=1) or StorageNode (type=2) |
| info | [NodeInfo](#bootstrap.NodeInfo) |  | Info contains information about node |
| TTL | [uint32](#uint32) |  | TTL must be larger than zero, it decreased in every neofs-node |

### Message NodeInfo



| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| Address | [string](#string) |  | Address is a node [multi-address](https://github.com/multiformats/multiaddr) |
| PubKey | [bytes](#bytes) |  | PubKey is a compressed public key representation in bytes |

## Scalar Value Types

| .proto Type | Notes | C++ Type | Java Type | Python Type |
| ----------- | ----- | -------- | --------- | ----------- |
| <a name="double" /> double |  | double | double | float |
| <a name="float" /> float |  | float | float | float |
| <a name="int32" /> int32 | Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint32 instead. | int32 | int | int |
| <a name="int64" /> int64 | Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint64 instead. | int64 | long | int/long |
| <a name="uint32" /> uint32 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint32 | int | int/long |
| <a name="uint64" /> uint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint64 | long | int/long |
| <a name="sint32" /> sint32 | Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int32s. | int32 | int | int |
| <a name="sint64" /> sint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int64s. | int64 | long | int/long |
| <a name="fixed32" /> fixed32 | Always four bytes. More efficient than uint32 if values are often greater than 2^28. | uint32 | int | int |
| <a name="fixed64" /> fixed64 | Always eight bytes. More efficient than uint64 if values are often greater than 2^56. | uint64 | long | int/long |
| <a name="sfixed32" /> sfixed32 | Always four bytes. | int32 | int | int |
| <a name="sfixed64" /> sfixed64 | Always eight bytes. | int64 | long | int/long |
| <a name="bool" /> bool |  | bool | boolean | boolean |
| <a name="string" /> string | A string must always contain UTF-8 encoded or 7-bit ASCII text. | string | String | str/unicode |
| <a name="bytes" /> bytes | May contain any arbitrary sequence of bytes. | string | ByteString | str |
