The problem is in requiring an application rewrite in order to get the new features. Performance tweaks that require rewrites haven't had a good history for deployment, and in the short term it runs you into the odd questions like "so, why not do SDP instead?" Anyway, yes, I agree that if bending applications is on the table, then many more things become "easy." -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
