Appendix C. Changelog
draft-ietf-homenet-dncp-01:
o Fixed keep-alive semantics to consider unicast requests also
updates of most recently consistent, and added proactive unicast
request to ensure even inconsistent keep-alive messages eventually
triggering consistency timestamp update.
o Facilitated (simple) read-only clients by making Node Connection
TLV optional if just using DNCP for read-only purposes.
o Added text describing how to deal with "dense" networks, but left
actual numbers and mechanics up to DNCP profiles and (local)
configurations.
Also added one relatively major outstanding issue - how to deal with ‘big
data’; even given TCP, currently there is limit of 64kb that a node can
publish, and updates of that data are inefficient. Several alternative schemes
underoing design, watch this space :)
So not quite LC-ready after all; the first change especially was critical, as
under heavy load there was flapping due to the new (passive) keepalive
definition of dncp-00 being somewhat more strict in what it accepts as
‘present’, compared to hncp-02 ping scheme).
Cheers,
-Markus
