Disconnecting from nodes with leave

To leave a node, perhaps to disconnect or to perform more advanced changes to the key, the leave message is used. It is the opposite of join, except that it is not routed. When receiving a leave message the host sending the message should be removed from any of the maintained sets. The structure of the leave message is shown in table tbl:leavepdu.
