I would argue that the server and publisher are the same (see below for why). If this is true perhaps we could define the term "distributed publisher" which matches to the term "Subscribed Domain" in draft-ietf-netconf-udp-pub-channel. A distributed publisher would be a type of publisher, inheriting all requirements for that device from subscribed-notifications. If this is acceptable, then (2) is an implementation detail which can be hidden. This addresses Juergen's comment that having (2) inserts error conditions which might need to be understood by the outside world. My mental model for udp on mult-linecard (when building on the terminology of subscribed-notifications) would be something like: subscriber receiver | ^ ^ | (1) | (3) | | | | .---V-------------|-----|-------. | .------. .-------. .-------. | | |master| | agent | | agent | | | '------' '-------' '-------' | | distributed publisher | '-------------------------------' Note that this is very close to figure 1 of the UDP draft. The difference is that it gets rid of the 's' in Agents and Receivers. And turns subscribed domain into a single publisher. This allows the hiding of error states between master and agent. Note that this is different than the distribution of terms within draft-zhou-netconf-multi-stream-originators. And some work would be needed there to merge the terminology. > > > If we can agree on an architectural picture like this, the different > > > transport docs can refer to this architecture and be defined related > > > to it.

Yes, that's my understanding. But I might be > wrong. Eric and Alex? The term "server" is only used once in draft-ietf-netconf-udp-pub-channel. And then it refers to "push server". I am assuming the "push server" is a publisher. Based on this, I do believe we can get away from using the term "server".
