On routing systems with built-in expiration/TTL like the Amino DHT, this is also known as **reproviding** to emphasize the continuous nature of the process in which a node advertises provider records. IPFS nodes announce CID(s) to either the [DHT](./dht.md) or the [IPNI](./ipni.md) — the two content routing systems supported by [IPFS Mainnet](./glossary.md#mainnet).
