Hi Jean-Jacques, Local means local to one's point of reference ie. at the sender the reference is local to that sender, at an intermediary it is local to that intermediary, at a receiver it is local to that receiver. It's a local handle to a message. You can think of it a bit like a local reference to a memory buffer (but that would be dangerous in practice because buffers get reused). It's an abstract means of local reference to a message that you have already seen.
