Once the input data has been merkleized and addressed by a CID, the node announces itself as a provider of the CID(s) to the IPFS network, thereby creating a public mapping between the CID and the node. This is typically known as **providing**, other names for this step are **publishing** **advertising**. 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.
