Hi,
It has come to my attention that some enterprises (maybe even most of
them) won't allow the current peer-to-peer networking arrangement. This
is because it requires allowing an any:any firewall rule on port 1984.
For those people, I'll develop an alternative topology - where all the
clients just heartbeat a limited number (like one or two) systems.
This will still be very low overhead, just not as low as the
peer-to-peer arrangement.
Packets will only go one way, so it will be half the traffic of periodic
pings.
Everything else about the architecture will be unchanged.
This is not complicated, since the nanoprobes don't know the topology --
and they don't care.
