Each CN requires a newly generated IRI, which may not be used in a CN after a terminal state has been reached. A CN progresses through a series of states, which are tracked by the provider and consumer using messages. A CN transitions to a state in response to an acknowledged message from the counter-party. Both parties have the same state of the CN. In case the states differ, the CN is terminated and a new CN has to be initiated.
