First of all I'm sorry I couldn't join the channel tonite but freenode has a
ban line on my provider's IP addresses so I couldn't connect, no way :/

Btw, didn't we say that gomd2gomd messages should be exchanged via UDP
messages? UDP doesn't need any connection at all. I don't think we can simply
reuse the TCP interface for this. I mean, if we can, let's do it... we wouldn't
have any need for a separate datagram driven message exchange protocol and this
would also mean we reuse the TCP interface code and reduce the "time to market"
;) as well as JP's hard work.

I don't know. I'm just thinking about it. I think Gian Paolo understands the
thing much better than me in terms of "pure code" so I'd ask you: is it more
convenient to reuse the TCP interface for gomd2gomd communication or implement
the UDP thing?

In the meanwhile I'm rebuilding the kernel's rpms and I guess this time they're
the good ones ;)

More news later when I post the rpms to my "super-secret" site ;)

Ciao, Mirko.
