Transport Layer/Mapping

• Abstracted transport interface

• Mapping to UDP

  • currently being written by Anton Okmianski
  • will be a required transport (to ensure “least common denominator” interoperability) – the only one required

• Mapping to TCP – later, transport RFC 3195bis can eventually serve as this

• Potential for other mappings

  • SNMP (“syslogish” messages are send via SNMP TRAPS by some devices)
  • “unreliable”, raw TCP for those who really need it [I don't say it is necessarily a good idea, though ;-)]
