RLNH supervises all endpoints that use the link. When a published name is terminated, a RLNH_UNPUBLISH message with its link address is sent to the peer.

When a RLNH_UNPUBLISH message is received, RLNH removes its local representation of the endpoint referred to by the given link address. When RLNH no longer associates the link address with any resources, it returns a RLNH_UNPUBLISH_ACK message to the peer.

The link address can be reused after a RLNH_UNPUBLISH_ACK message.
