Hello everyone, Thomas, I just skimmed over your changes in the tcp plugins dir. but could'nt really understand your approach: You did'nt touch the elements already there and created new elements in parallel. Can you please explain for me and any other dump-head like me :) ===== --------------------------------------------------------- "To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralysed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it." --Bertrand Russell "According to all the rules (of Software Engineering) I knew, Linux should have been a disaster, but it was'nt.

Can you please explain for > me and any other dump-head like me :) Of course :) The reasons are simple. a) I couldn't figure out everything about the old elements (I was especially confused why the tcpsrc element seems to support multiple connections - what is it supposed to do if more than one client feeds it data), and we're sort of bound by being in a stable release so we can't just remove the elements (I thought for example you were still using them), so I left them in. b) Since I have created two sources and two sinks, based on whether they're client or server, I don't think the old names were good for me anyway. So I used different names. The names also make it more clear which is server and which client, which clears up some of the confusion that was present in the old elements.
