[cgl_discussion] linux-ha as a PoC for CCM.1 Cluster Communication Service

[Zhu, Yi]

Hi Julie,

Given most of the features to NO, I don't think linux-ha is still suitable
to be a PoC for the current requirement. Is it possible to change the CGL
cluster communication requirement to be more generic? I mean we don't
define approach details in the spec. For example, we just say CGL shall
provide a point-to-point and multipoint communication service but don't
specify it must use a socket-based interface; we can say CGL shall provide
a reliable communication service that detects communication failures but
don't specify the communication mode must be connection or connectionless.

Thanks,
-yi
