[Nut-upsdev] [Nut-upsuser] [EXTERNAL] Re: On retiring some terminology

[Baker, Lawrence M]

That is terminology from Computer Science.  (Decades ago?)  It is familiar.  Not invented by Cisco.  As in, producer-consumer, from the same time.  Those were all different paradigms for client-server relationships.  There must be Wikipedia citations that can be consulted.  As I recall, there were distinctions, such as, producer-consumer were tightly bound, where the producer had no purpose without a consumer.  In publisher-subscriber, subscribers registered their interest in what the publisher had to say, but were neither required to exist at all, or might ignore what was being published.

Jim,

The terminology I recall for that one-to-many relationship is publisher-subscriber.

Manager/subscriber seems most accurate

In place of secondary how about subscriber? It would be accurate to
the role.


I'd been going to suggest controller and ... something.  Controller and
subscriber?
