With this work done, the next step will be to start designing the SP session cache and work out the manner in which the agents will interact with it. This was work I started last year but tabled when other things took priority. Working out the statefulness (or lack thereof) of this design will be a major step, followed by implementing the first real “functional” endpoints in the hub that do real work, such as retrieving a session and updating session usage data (i.e., occasional pings indicating active use for timeout enforcement). The change to an “every so often” touch-baase base from the current “update on every request” model is the major shift allowing the hub to become a networked component that won’t need to be co-located with agents.
