Re: [ptp-dev] Proxy Protocol

[Feiyi Wang <fwang2@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg -

can you help to clarify a few questions on the wire protocol 2.0 spec? 
thanks!

- on transaction ID:

  is it assumed that first command RMS sends to proxy agent will start 
wtih transaction ID 0? and increment by 1 each time a new command is issued?

- on range set notation:

  is there a reason you'd write "1-10,4-12,3" instead of "1-12"?

- on message format:

  Although the length itself is 8 digit hex, the rest of message is 
still ASCII encoding, correct? so "00000008:A String" will be exactly 
what you will see down the wire ...?

- does wire protocol specify what transport protocol and which port 
proxy agent will listen to?

- if say, we had developed a new proxy agent ... not necessarily using 
the C protocol implementation, what would be the best way to verify that 
it is  speaking the right protocol language? in other words, any 
regression/unit tests we can use to validate the protocol implementation?

- in the long run, should proxy agent always be launched by each 
user-session, terminated when client quit the front end? or some long 
running daemon will be in play?

Regards,

Feiyi
