Thanks Sean. Couldn't the connection be established already when
inserting the remote address to the AV? From the API it looks like an
event can be generated once the insertion completes. In case of rxm
this could be when the connection is established.
I thought about this, but the addresses can be inserted prior to the AV being
bound to any EP, plus the AV can be bound to multiple EPs. So there may be
more than one connection per peer address that gets established, and we may not
know the source address to use for the connection.
There are some options here, but we'd likely need to add a flag as part of AV
insertion to force the connection setup to complete, plus require that the AV
be bound to all EPs prior to the insert being called. Neither of these are
hard, but apps would need to adjust for this case.
Got it. Sounds like it might break some compatibility then. Not sure if
it's worth it for my particular use case, unless such a change is of
general interest.
Cheers,
Jörn
