I've used your example to try and clarify my own thoughts on how this
a little. It may be that I'm just repeating your suggestion, I've
added a bit more detail so that if thats the case its hopefully
clearer and if I'm still missing something that too will be easier to
point out.
I've come to the conclusion that merely thinking about the protocol and
algorithms for dynamic binding is insufficient to solve the problem.
So, to make progress, I've modeled the broker in a test/simulation
environment to experiment with and validate candidate solutions in
various federation topologies. The things I'm most interested in are:
1) Protocol self-stabilization,
2) zero failures to deliver messages to appropriately bound consumers,
3) minimized delivery of messages to exchanges which have no real
consumers bound, and
4) maximized tolerance of variations in topology.
Having gone through a number of iterations over the weekend, I think I
have arrived at an acceptable solution.
Question: is there an appropriate location in the SVN tree to put model
code like this simulator? It's not a customer deliverable, but it is a
design tool that may have value for the community.
I'll provide details of the newest proposal under separate cover.
