Yeah I think we need to see many incarnations of how this is done before it can be standardized. Meaning we need to see the various user use cases. Right now LDAPd uses its own model and did not really leverage the stuff in excalibur that was at that time called Silk I believe. > > > Would my socket manager just be another > > component managed by the container(merlin)? > That's is being done with LDAPd. But in the distant future after more important things are taken care of we can begin to consolidate the use cases into a generalized Avalon API for event based protocol server developement. > Most probably.

Perhaps if I find some time I'll try to look into that.
