I have been investigating NodeJS for quite some time. I see the benefits of the asynchronous nature and the pool of talent available to write in JavaScript.
I have having a little difficulty understanding how I might write a system to deal with TL1 type devices. For those that do not know TL1 is a command based protocol that can run over TCP/IP. You can do things like: > CONNECT (id) username/password < Success (id) RETRIEVE-DATA (id) parameter1 < data 1 (id) < data 2 (id) < asynchronous response (out-of-band) (id) < asynchronous response (out-of-band) (someone elses id) I made up the commands to simplify the idea, but most of the time the flow fits a synchronous model. I thought about creating a simple FSM around the current states of the system such as connecting, asking for data etc, but this seems overly complex for doing something so simple that can be done with TELNET and a bash script file. Does anyone have patterns that they have successfully used to solve these kinds of problems? -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
