Hi, The primary thought behind using the BEEP channels was to rate limit the relatively less-intersting messages. Another thought that was kicked around was to use a channel to forward messages whose interest level may have just changed. Let's say that you've configured your syslog process to forward messages from the Foo daemon to the syslog server but only if they are Severity level 4 or above. Your parser on the server suddenly notices some interesting messages but isn't getting the entire story. Since BEEP is bi-directional, it _could_ send a command to the remote syslog process to start sending severity messages of 5-7 on a different channel again using a lower priority. I am really pleased to see multiple implementations of 3195 even without the use of multiple channels. Being the optimist, I'll expect an evolutionary step forward one of these days. :) Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ LogAnalysis mailing list LogAnalysisat_private http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis
