16Stars are above planets in the network hierarchy in the sense that each star sponsors some number of planets: stars discover peers for planets, route packets for planets, provide DNS routing for planets, and push software updates to planets. A star that fulfills this is called the *sponsor* of planets that receive such services from the star; those planets, in turn, are called *dependents* of that star.

20Planets must have a sponsor star to use most features of the Arvo network. A planet cannot boot without a sponsor, and cannot make new connections to peers as long as it is not connected to a sponsor. Sponsorless planets will still be able to message discovered peers until such any such peers change their IP addresses.

24Like with real-life infrastructure, the operation of Arvo infrastructure comes with unique responsibilities. For reasons stated above, stars should be always be online on a reliable cloud service, such as Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform. These systems have layers of redundancies that make them much more resilient than local machines, so stars hosted on the cloud are unlikely to leave their dependents in the dark.
