Subject: Re: reliable messaging - hop by hop


   Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 11:51:28 -0400
   From: Martin W Sachs <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>

   MWS:  In the HTTPR spec it doesn't just assume; it
   states an assumption that intermediaries
   store and forward reliably.  This is crucial to understanding how
   the hop by hop reliability can work.  Without such a statement in
   the MSG spec, it is necessary to not trust the intermediaries. That's
   why (I agree) we must be clear about stating assumptions on how the
   endpoints and intermediaries are designed.  We don't want to do the
   design but we must say things like "this assumes that the intermediaries
   store and forward reliably".

Yes, I agree completely.  This is an important decision and I don't
think we'll be able to sort our way through the reliable messaging
discussion until it's decided one way or the other (whether to assume
that the intermediaries store and forward properly).
