Hi,
Personally, I think relying on asynchronous events to provide reliable status is a bad idea. Management connections can and will get disconnected, buffers will get filled and event notifications will be dropped.
I somehow like the idea from someone (Jamie?) somewhere in this thread to model the notification like unix signals. Just flag that something changed. Don't carry the actual info, just ping the management app, which in turn must use "info <whatever>" to get the details.
That solves the queuing issue. I also closes the command vs. notification races. Management apps don't need new parsers, the existing "info <foo>" parser(s) will do just fine.
