Hi Andrew, xmlBlaster is a MoM (message oriented middleware) like for example MQSeries from IBM, for more information see http://www.xmlBlaster.org We are developing cluster support, which shall allow distributed xmlBlaster server instances over the intranet and internet. The goal will be automatic discovery/lookup of xmlBlaster nodes. The approach will cover multicast based discovery in the intranet and port bound discovery over the internet. The protocol for this port is not specified yet, it will be used for 'bootstrapping' and for 'operational' data. This allows us piercing firewalls with a well known port, reducing the amount of administration. Example: If several air traffic control information systems distributed over the globe (on airports) need to communicate in 'real time', a well known port simplifies the task. I hope this information is what you are looking after, thanks, Marcel PS: I will send the mail to our mailing list as well. > > Information collected will be available at http://andrew.triumf.ca/cgi-bin/port > and may be replicated elsewhere. > > Thank you for your time > > regards > > Andrew Daviel > Security Manager > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > TRIUMF > Vancouver, Canada > 604-222-7376 > > -- Marcel Ruff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lake.de/home/lake/swand/ http://www.xmlBlaster.org
