Subject: [Rserpool] Should ASAP be splitted?

Hi,

Reading the ASAP draft I felt that it seems a little overloaded. In
particular, registration operations are just employed by PEs.

Maybe it would be good to put those operations in another protocol. Or
exactly the same ASAP protocol but without PU related operations. Of
course PE would require both protocols.

This will ease firewall protection, I mean, with ASAP firewalls should
allow ASAP connections to both PEs and NSs. Therefore, remote PUs are
able to send Registration operations to NSs. With two separate
protocols, registration port could be filtered.

Has been this discussed before? comments?

Regards,
--Manuel
