Content-based routing architecture (ala DRPI)

(to be completed by a representative of DRPI)

applications talk to router interface libraries, communicating content, however they want. We can call it KQML if we want, but it is language- specific intraprocess communication so no need to overregulate it. Router interface libraries communicate with router agents using advertise/publish/subscribe (so-called declarations). Routers talk to each other using advertise/publish/subscribe, maybe broadcast, for the exchange of declarations, and using packages for delivery to end-agents.
