Re: [reSIProcate] Removing Transport


Hi,

Ok ... its not about deleting transport, but shutting-down the transport
as Byron mentioned precisely. Yeah there would be repeated re-configuration,
but that is the intent for shutting down the transport and adding a new as per the
new configuration. It would be a pain to remove the SIP stack object and DUM
object every time I want to modify (closing down older one, and adding new transport)
transport.  In that sense it is surely a desirable stuff!

I understand doing it with handles will really require a LOT of work, but can we
consider failing the DUM operation if the asked transport is not found at transport.
I feel that there should not be a state-bloat in this case at DUM.
I am not pretty sure of this theory, but would really appreciate if you can give some
thought and validate it.

Thanks for your time :)

Byron,

I would also be very intered in the ability to
dynamically remove transports. My opinion though,
is that invalidating transports without deletion
would be just fine. Changing transports is a task
that is usually done rarely. Some dead transports
flying around wouldn't do any harm.
Sure, there may be rare cases when someone might
want to do this frequently, but would these rare
cases be worth to undertake so much effort? I think
the "shut down" solution would be fine for most.
What do others think?

Best regards
