As I said, it's highly experimental. But in a nutshell, it tries to address two areas: 1. enable rsyslog collectors (and other who support that mode) to pull data from rsyslog originators 2. provide a general infrastructure for pull models, whatever this is to be used for Use case for 1 is for example firewall setups, where no inbound connections to the collector is permitted for security reasons and the connector needs to be the active parts. Use cases for 2 exists, but I don't know the specifics. They surface every now and then on the ML when someone ask for pull integration. I think there was even a discussion with Radu, but I may be wrong. As far as I implement the full mechanism, everything will be at "a" protocol level, no specific APIs. But again, it's very early and its highly experimental. So nothing is really fixed yet, at least not in the sense the it for sure will be made this or that way.
