... I can only assume in the iPhone app's case the API they are using returns a buffer which might have several concatenated UDP datagrams within. Maybe there...
I don't mean that packet fragmentation or re-ordering are myths - just that when dealing with xAP at the IP stack (socket) interface you are dealing with...
If you are going work at defining the spec to be able to use tcp you might as well define it so that it works in the ipv6 world as well. Steve From:...
I agree that checksums are not appropriate to TCP connections, the transport wrapper already designates them as optional. I don't think hubs currently send...
... All the hubs I use (xFX) send heartbeats and so obviously have a unique name/port/ip identifier. I thought all xAP app's should send heartbeats. ... ...
Sounds like a lot of work. I'd be interested in starting that discussion (as a new thread). I don't think it's at all a high priority as I'm sure IPv4 will be...
You're right, to get a connection in good time that's not statically configured it'd need a request/offer message pair. The experimental hub I have here is...
Cool! I'm not sure the transport wrapper over TCP 'breaks everything' - I've used it for TCP routing of xAP over the internet framed using the transport ...
If we wish to allow some inband mechansim for a TCP client to configure it's link eg for logon/authentication, selecting a preset profile governing which...
How about keeping it in-band (as xAP messages) but using it as the foundation for a generic configuration schema, which is looooong overdue! Would that work?...
Are you up for championing the config schema ? I am aware that work is being done elsewhere , at least covering BSC aspects. I do like that approach, my only...
Sure, I'll certainly collate all the info in terms of what's people have done as a starting point, if people want to mail me off-list, and throw that up on the...
... I know I would say this but BSC in my opinion has been the great sucess story of xAP, mainly due to almost universal support and the plug and play...
Hi, I'm still in the progress of creating my first BSC device and I'm looking at adding a few extensions to the common BSC schema. From an output end point...
Hi Neil, Glad it's all progressing. I think this sort of issue does need a solution so glad you're tackling it. A couple of thoughts. I would try and avoid...
Sigh. You misread. I said (or at least intended to say) enforcing the transport wrapper on >UDP< would break everything (obviously). My experience of it on TCP...
Hi Kevin, Thanks for responding. To me, things that would have watchdog capability, would generally be controlled by one governing box PC i.e. MisterHouse...
Just out of curiosity, how many things would break if the xAP header had a message length? I.e. add a length=nnnn line. xap-header { v=12 hop=1 uid=FF123400 ...
Nothing should break by adding any parameter within a header but of course you would need every app to support it and no existing ones do (although it could be...
The trouble is that to generate such a message you need to know how long it's going to be before you generate it and then inserting the length field could...
... "tody" - is that a Yorkshire word? Assuming it's a typo, what did you mean. I'm probably having a dense moment but I don't know what you meant. Actually...
That's why I had length=nnnn (4 digit field length, padded 0's as per my header example) Actually, I was thinking in HEX not decimal so nnnn hex = 65535 not...
... scale very well... Yes it would forward all traffic. How does that create a scalability problem Patrick? Obviously there's more traffic, now o(n) rather...
Hi, I can't get into this to much at the moment, I'm supposed to be getting ready for a dirty (oops romantic) weekend with my wife. Today is our 27th wedding...
Fantastic stuff! Have a Greeaat weekend - congratulations! From: xAP_developer@yahoogroups.com [mailto:xAP_developer@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Neil...
