[dsdp-tcf-dev] Re: TCF agent issue

[Martin Oberhuber <martin.oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Karun,

this is a good question. Since we expect an agent to never die, I'd 
rephrase the question a little:

What happens if the connection to an agent is broken during 
communications, e.g. due to plugging out a network cable? Are there any 
timeouts / exceptions? Is there any retry logic inside the TCF layer, or 
would clients of TCF need to implement that on their application layer?

Any ideas or suggestions for code, anyone?

Cheers,
