[Tipc-discussion] Difference between Name subscription and Network subscription

[Yin, H. <hu...@in...>]

Hi, All

I cannot distinguish Name subscription and Network subscription. Who can
tell me=20
the difference between Name subscription and Network subscription? Thank
you in advance!

Here is the description abstracted from TIPC's testspec:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------
Name subscription Test Program
------------------------------
1) Open several subscriptons for <0,0,0xffffffff> from one socket.
   socket. This will in practice work like a network subscription,
   and one should receive an event per subscription each time a=20
   processor goes down or comes back. Disable/enable the bearers
   on a processor to verify.
2) Call the syncronous NAME_AVAILABILITY for one name that does
   exist and for one that does not.


Network Subscription Test Program
---------------------------------
Open a subscripton for <0> from a socket. Disable/enable a processor.
