Split Link Connections Support Multiple Transport Protocols #222

Closed michaelquigley closed 1 year ago

michaelquigley commented 3 years ago

The split link functionality introduced with the dilithium-like flow control should ideally support multiple transport protocols. In Transwarp scenarios, it adds complexity to debugging and operating to run the ACK channel over westworld3 in addition to the data channel.

We should support a mechanism to specify an alternate protocol for the ACK channel.

This is potentially complicated by needing to support multiple listeners. Supporting multiple dialers is fairly trivial, but the listeners add complexity.

Intermediate solution is to support configuration to disable split link configuration.

Closing as not planned for now. May reopen in ziti project later. It's likely we'll support some version of this as we implement UDP links
