Marcus Eriksson commented on CASSANDRA-4311:
--------------------------------------------
looks good to me, just a bit confusing calling it a 'header' when it is
essentially a handshake packet
could we negotiate SSL the way we do compression? nothing 'secret' is shared
during the handshake phase anyway, after that we could upgrade sockets
> clean up messagingservice protocol limitations

> Weaknesses of the existing protocol:
> - information asymmetry: node A can know what version node B expects, but not
> vice versa (see CASSANDRA-4101)
> - delayed information: node A will often not know what version node B
> expects, until after first contacting node B -- forcing it to throw that
> first message away and retry for the next one
> - protocol cannot handle both cross-dc forwarding and broadcast_address !=
> socket address (see bottom of CASSANDRA-4099)
> - version is partly global, partly per-connection, and partly per-message,
> resulting in some interesting hacks (CASSANDRA-3166) and difficulty layering
> more sophisticated OutputStreams on the socket (CASSANDRA-3127,
> CASSANDRA-4139)
