[ecf-dev] question about discovery

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

This is mostly a question for Markus K, I expect, but everyone is welcome to chime in.

The question is this:   with the typical discovery provider (e.g. slp, zookeeper, etc)...are there any guarantees about the order of delivery of service notifications?   For example, lets say that I have two services that I advertise with discovery:

Svc A ->   discovery.registerService(A)

Svc B ->   discovery.registerService(B)

Then...let's say that a receiver becomes available for discovery *after* both A and be have been registered by the publisher.  The question is this:  on this new receiver...is it going to receive A first, then B? Or B then A?  Or is it indeterminant/not guaranteed?...or perhaps it's provider/protocol/implementation-specific?

Thanks,

Scott
