Hi, I always thought of the OPES processor as an L7 switch (as in
Markus's view) with limited storage capability.
I do *not* assume that this is always the case, that's only one
specific implementation form. An OPES processor can also be
implemented on a Web cache or Web proxy. Point is that our protocol
should be designed so that it can support these different forms of
implementations - the L7-style form with limited buffer capacity, as
well as a WEb cache based approach with more storage capacity. It
seems that the current proposal covers these different forms
reasonable well.
As a first attempt, I vote that the protocol that this WG comes out
with considers the OPES processor as a bare-bones L7 switch,
without much storage capability!
We should not limit ourselves to one or the other specific
implementation form, our protocol should work in either case.
Thanks,
Markus
