Appendix C. Changelog draft-ietf-homenet-dncp-01: o Fixed keep-alive semantics to consider unicast requests also updates of most recently consistent, and added proactive unicast request to ensure even inconsistent keep-alive messages eventually triggering consistency timestamp update. o Facilitated (simple) read-only clients by making Node Connection TLV optional if just using DNCP for read-only purposes. o Added text describing how to deal with "dense" networks, but left actual numbers and mechanics up to DNCP profiles and (local) configurations. Also added one relatively major outstanding issue - how to deal with ‘big data’; even given TCP, currently there is limit of 64kb that a node can publish, and updates of that data are inefficient. Several alternative schemes underoing design, watch this space :) So not quite LC-ready after all; the first change especially was critical, as under heavy load there was flapping due to the new (passive) keepalive definition of dncp-00 being somewhat more strict in what it accepts as ‘present’, compared to hncp-02 ping scheme).
