Description
In 2012, I presented about the prototype "Out of Band" project, a
project to allow OpenAFS bulk network communication over protocols
besides Rx/UDP (such as TCP). Per the original plan, OOB has since been
partially redesigned in order to address shortcomings in the original
design. This new implementation fixes various problems, allows OOB to be
more easily used for other arbitrary services (such as volume
operations), and improves long-term maintainability, making it hopefully
easier to integrate into OpenAFS. This presentation will briefly cover
the history and current state of the project, walk through the new
architecture, and discuss what is envisioned for the future.
