Click here to show the 16 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.

```go
for _, ctxElem := range updateCtxReq.ContextElements {
// just in case this is orion ngsi v1
ctxElem.SetEntityID()
// params[0] has FiwareService header and params[1] has FiwareServicePath
if fiwareHeadersExist {
tb.updateIdWithFiwareHeaders(&ctxElem, params[0], params[1])
}

brokerURL := tb.queryOwnerOfEntity(ctxElem.Entity.ID)

if brokerURL == tb.myProfile.MyURL {
tb.UpdateContext2LocalSite(&ctxElem, w)
} else {
tb.UpdateContext2RemoteSite(&ctxElem, updateCtxReq.UpdateAction, brokerURL)
}
}

```

Click here to show extra information the analyzer produced.

```
The following paths through the callgraph could lead to a goroutine:
(UpdateContext2LocalSite, 2)
(UpdateContext2LocalSite, 2) -> (notifySubscribers, 2)
(UpdateContext2LocalSite, 2) -> (notifySubscribersV2, 2)
(UpdateContext2LocalSite, 2) -> (notifySubscribers, 2) -> (sendNotify, 4)
