Hi,

don't be afraid, I am not going to propose a third possibility to this
topic ;->

I just wanted you to know what we, basic users, do with filters. I think the
more use cases you have, the better.

We developed a server supporting two socket-based protocols (legacy one
and new
one) on two separate ports. For specific reasons, we do not want than 400
simultaneous connections on the server. For this, both services need to
share a
service-level filter counting sessions.

For the legacy protocol, some clients (with a specific SW release)
forget an ACK
message. This can be detected in the server. For this, we need a service-lev
el
filter that calls nextFilter.messageReceived with the missing message wherea
s
it has not really been received.

My 2 cts,

J-F
