Connection Reuse: The process of using the same connection to send
new requests in the backwards direction (i.e., A opens a connection
to B to send requests, and B uses the same connection to send
new requests to A.)
Connection sharing: The process of using the same connection to send
multiple requests on the same connection (and of course, receive
multiple responses over the connection.) A shared connection will
not be reused for requests in the backwards direction.
Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions? Other terms to document?
This is good, but I'd replace the sentence "A shared connection will
not..." with "Connection sharing does not imply connection reuse."
Perfect; I'll make the change. Thanks, Dale.
Once you get that straightened out, you can say "TCP connections are
shared by default, but should not be reused except when the recipient
has some way to authenticate the source."
I will say something to the following effect:
... Connection sharing does not imply connection reuse except
when the recipient has some assurance of the authenticity of
the source.
Since this text that defines these terms will go in the beginning
of the draft (probably in the terminology section), I will leave
out the details of which connections can be shared by default (like
TLS) and which ones (like TCP) should only be shared under certain
circumstances. The reader will, in time, read the relevant sections
and arrive at the requisite conclusion.
Thanks,
