[net2-wg] Proposal for dissemination structure and interfaces

[Omprakash Gnawali]

Following up on earlier discussion on multiple sink scenario, how
would one accomplish the following using this proposed interface:

A node wants to send certain messages to the entire network. The
messages are dynamically generated or as a response to some user
interaction. If one simply uses the change function, the consumers can
override or never receive the values prior to the change (ignore older
seqno, for example). This is not a desired behavior. The consumers
would like to receive all the messages.


If I understand the interface, different nodes are allowed to be
producers in a connected network, which is very useful in scenarios
that we are looking at. Commands being sent from different injection
points.
