Hi All, *Background:* As I wrote once I am considering messenger based on RDS protocol. RDS protocol is datagram oriented like UDP; however, it is reliable and in-order like TCP and it is much more efficient than both (in case the underlying is RDMA). See about RDS here - https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/rds-devel/2007-November/000228.html I am trying to convert AsyncMessenger to RDS. The challenge is to convert from statefull connection to stateless connection (programmatically RDS is very much similar to UDP) *Question:* Async messenger starts each accepted socket with state=STATE_ACCEPTING and then it expects handshake. Unfortunately, stateless connections don't have the concept of "accept"; hence, I see two ways to recognize "accept" situations: 1. In case I am getting message from an address that doesn't exist in conns/accepting_conns collections. 2. By adding special message that will indicate that this is an "accept request" from a new client I prefer option #2 if it is possible - the question is which message I can use for indicating "Accept request"? - I thought of sending an empty datagram (without payload) for that purpose. Do you think this idea will work?
