Hi Jon/John,

I agree ?We know that the ?try? can be unsuccessful, so a discovery
fallback is inevitable.? So that we need implement rediscovery UI for
fallback case.
However, if try is successful, we can reduce the step to re-discover which
will bring the big benefit to user from UI perspective.

How about including this issue into the Jira ticket for in this coming
1.1.0 release?
Markus, could you help it?

BR, Uze Choi

Jon,

I don?t see any attempt to propose static port binding, so the request
doesn?t violate any OIC intent.  In any case, since a node might support
multiple servers, static port binding wouldn?t work.

I understand the request is to make a server ?try? to use a port that it
used in a previous run.  We know that the ?try? can be unsuccessful, so a
discovery fallback is inevitable.

One aspect here sounds like code is depending on IoTivity devices to
operate like some other common servers where HTTP is on port 80, telnet is
on port 23, ssh on port 22, SMTP is on port 25, etc. Compliance with
company IT policies, firewall requirements, vpn rules, etc. might come into
play there.

If this is so, then a question would be to ask if such port-bound services
were counter to the OIC intent, within the OIC intent or un-addressed by it.


On the other hand, if it is just code counting on finding a device by using
address+port as a key, then I would share concerns on such software being
fragile.

In OCDoResource, you can supply a port number in the OCDevAddr argument.
Network layer will use it, just as in original IoTivity.  So the same
functionality exists.

I still have reservations about the design of counting on port numbers
persisting.

-

OCDoResource()  must set port number.

How can forget it? If you right, then iotivity should be redesign. 

Because, OCDoResource() has port number dependency.



If we support just one optional api, we can reduce re-discovery problem.

I don't understand why did yoy object to add "OPTIONAL" api although it can
provide very useful user exprience.



And, old version iotivity could set port number... there is no issue about
development

Forget the port number. If your other side is trying to depend on the port 
number, please redesign it. You cannot count on the port number being free,
so 
your other side must be able to deal with the port number changing.

For that matter, the IP might change after a reboot. Or even without a
reboot: 
IPv6 temporary addresses change about once a day. Since you can't count on
the 
IP being fixed, port numbers don't identify anything.
