While the operation timeout has not been reached the operation will be retried periodically as well as be sent over new connections as they come up. This call is beneficial at startup to notify potentially interested nodes of this provider's capability. The advertise solicits matching DOFInterestLevel.WATCH , DOFInterestLevel.ACTIVATE , and DOFInterestLevel.CONNECT interest.
