Hello, About draft-ietf-rserpool-comp-03.txt. Sorry to drop so late in the game, but I thought that the document had evolved more than that since I first read it. The section (2.1) about CORBA is ... well ... not serious. What can you conclude when you read sentences such as : Currently, the applicability of CORBA is unclear CORBA has been around for 15 years, is implemented on every platform in the universe and used from nuclear plants to fly-by-wire systems and its applicability is unclear ? Also the mention of «variants» of CORBA is misleading, there is no such thing as a variant. Just specs an ORB can elect to conform to and that cover different domains. All can be combined in the same product if needed. Although there is no strict IIOP (the CORBA TCP-based interoperability protocol) mapping to IPV6, there is no reason to think that is it not a straightforward extension. CORBA has its own security infrastructure which may use IPsec when available. Fault tolerant CORBA has too many common points with rserpool and its applicability domain to be mentionned just by name. Of course there are reasons to believe that it may be too high level for use in a strictly IP environnement, but there is no technical analysis whatsoever. The CORBA trader is also very similar to some aspects of rserpool. The CORBA Load Balancing Service is not even mentionned. The section 4 Comparison table misses some points, most likely due to the lack of consideration of many CORBA aspects.
