Given that one of the bugs is the entire transport layer (packet and ack) a new packet is needed.Hi, It seems like any improvements in this area are impeded mostly by 'ooops we have a bad implmentation in the field which will broken by this nice feature'. Does it seem reasonable in this case to introduce a different framing character (e.g. '@' instead of '$') for the next/improved version of the protocol ?
So, we can have a new/shiny/fast/smart/functional protocol and when we are connecting to an old stub we will simply use 'old-remote' target, it seems a trivial feat to make both 'remote' and 'old-remote' target to bark a meaningful meesage about protocol mismatch and about necessary actions to be taken to correct it.
yes. Andrew
